His-LuxS
Usage and Biology
LuxS catalyses the formation of (S)-4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione (DPD). DPD is the precursor of autoinducer 2 (AI-2). AI-2 is a signal molecule which is involved in inhibiting biofilm formation of Gram-positive bacteria. [1, 2]
This sequence is taken from L. plantarum WCFS1 (GenBank NC_004567). Forbidden restriction sites were removed, a 6xHis_tag flanked by GS linkers was added to the N-terminal, prefix and suffix sequences compatible with Type IIS cloning were added, and the sequence was synthesised by IDT.
For expression in L. plantarum, this CDS was inserted into plasmid pX1845 via Type IIS cloning. The plasmid has an E. coli origin of replication (pUC18) and antibiotic resistance gene (π½-lactamase) to allow for cloning in E. coli DH5πΌ, and an origin of replication and antibiotic resistance gene to allow for propagation in L. plantarum. Three constitutive promoters were tested: synthetic promoter P_48 [3], natural promoter from L. plantarum WCFS1 P_ldhL1 (GenBank NC_004567) and natural promoter from L. lactis P_32 [4]. The latter two promoters had integrated RBS sequences but P_48 was combined with the synthetic RBS SDOPT8 [5]. All constructs contained a terminator from L. lactis MG1363 pepN, called Lacto_term (GenBank AM406671).
For expression in E. coli, this CDS was inserted into plasmid pX1900 via Type IIS cloning. The plasmid has an E. coli origin of replication (pBR322) and antibiotic resistance gene (π½-lactamase) to allow for cloning and propagation within E. coli. The strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 combined with the strong RBS BBa_B0034 were tested as well as the IPTG inducible T7 promoter (original sequence from pET21a) were tested. All constructs contained the double terminator BBa_B0015.
Characterisation
In order to characterise this part and determine whether the enzyme would be able to inhibit biofilm formation in our modified L. plantarum we performed a series of experiments. Please refer to the Experiments page on our Wiki for the protocols.
