ribozyme test: T7 leaky expression

Introduction

This composite part is utilized to assess the cleavage efficiency of chosen ribozymes. From its upstream to understream includes stayGold, stem-loop-1, ribozyme, stem-loop-2 and mScarlet. It is regulated by T7 promoter ,lac operator and T7 terminator.

A ribozyme is proved to have cleavage ability when green and red fluorescence are emitted at the same time. We can assess the cleavage efficiency of ribozyme based on the ratio of red-green fluorescence intensity when the stem-loop is unchanged.

We can also assess stem-loop’s ability of preventing mRNA degradation based on the ratio of red-green fluorescence intensity when the ribozyme is unchanged.

Furthermore, the orginal T7_RBS can be replaced by other RBSs. We can test the strength of one RBS based on ratio of red-green fluorescence intensity.

Usage and Biology

This composite part is an easy and effective tool to select the fit ribozyme, stem-loop and RBS. We selected several ribozymes(Chen et al., 2022^[1]),(Roth et al., 2014^[2]) and use this composite part to test the self-cleavage efficiency of them:

Characterization

Sequencing map

Figure1 Linker sequences between the first CDS (stayGold) and the second CDS (mScarlet) PmeI linker was borrowed from Liu[3] to facilitate cloning, and no specific secondary RNA structure. Stem-loop 1 was used to stabilize the first RNA after ribozyme cleavage, and we test it function in BBa_K4765129. After the ribozyme Twister, stem-loop 2 function together with RBS to facilitate translation. T7_RBS BBa_K4162006 is shown, and a stronger RBS BBa_B0030 or a weaker RBS BBa_J61100 if needed
