The pRET2-ARNT receptor module is a composite part designed to control the expression of ARNT (Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator) () under the regulation of the pRET2 promoter () . ARNT is a crucial partner in the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway, functioning as a heterodimerization partner that allows AhR to regulate gene transcription in response to environmental toxins. When AhR binds to toxic compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), it translocates into the nucleus and requires ARNT to form a functional transcriptional complex. This complex then binds to xenobiotic response elements (XREs) in the promoter regions of detoxification genes, such as those encoding cytochrome P450 enzymes, initiating the breakdown and clearance of harmful substances.

pRET2 - ARNT receptor module

The pRET2-ARNT receptor module is a composite part designed to control the expression of ARNT (Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator) | BBa_K3793005 under the regulation of the pRET2 promoter BBa_K5477000. ARNT is a crucial partner in the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway, functioning as a heterodimerization partner that allows AhR to regulate gene transcription in response to environmental toxins (1) (2). When AhR binds to toxic compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), it translocates into the nucleus and requires ARNT to form a functional transcriptional complex. This complex then binds to xenobiotic response elements (XREs) in the promoter regions of detoxification genes, such as those encoding cytochrome P450 enzymes, initiating the breakdown and clearance of harmful substances (1) (2) (3).

This module supports the AhR-mediated response to toxic ligands like PAHs, dioxins and PCBs by binding to the XRE() in our reporter module facilitating the transcription of NanoLuc (). The composite part was cloned using the method of USER-cloning into YCp-H. YCp-H is a centromeric plasmid used in yeast that includes a HIS3 marker, allowing for selection in histidine auxotrophic yeast strains. Like other CEN plasmids, YCp-H contains a CEN sequence, ensuring that the plasmid replicates and segregates similarly to yeast chromosomes. This results in a low copy number (typically one to two copies per cell), providing stable maintenance of the plasmid. This composite part was used in our device:
