Construction Design
This composite part consists of BBa_J23116 promotor, LEVI (BBa_K5348029), rrnB T1 terminator (BBa_B0015), CoIE promotor (BBa_K2244006), repressor cI (BBa_K327018), PR promotor (BBa_R0051), RBS(B0034), and pCDF-DUET-1-backbone (BBa_K5348031) which was constructed in E. coli DH5α strain.
Engineering Principle
Under blue light irradiation, the LEVI domain undergoes a conformational change, forming a protein dimer. This dimer binds to its homologous operator sequence, inhibiting PColE promoter activity. Consequently, the cI repressor cannot be expressed, allowing the target protein to be expressed. In dark conditions, the PColE promoter initiates transcription and expression of the cI repressor, thereby inhibiting target gene transcription [1]. Additionally, we used the CloDF13 ori, a low-copy replication origin more suitable for constructing plasmids containing toxic genes. Our modified light-control system, LEVI2.0, is shown in Figure 1.
Experimental Approach
Using the pYC-pKC-pL plasmid as a template, we introduced BglII and EcoRV restriction sites upstream and downstream of the cI-rrnB_T1-PR fragment, obtaining a BglII-cI-rrnB_T1-PR-EcoRV fragment. Then, using this fragment and the synthesized plasmid pCDF-LEVIsemi-on as templates, we performed BglII and EcoRV double digestion. After obtaining the digested fragments and backbone, we used T4 ligase for ligation and transformed the ligation product into DH5α competent cells. Colony PCR and sequencing results confirmed the successful acquisition of the pLEVI2.0 plasmid (Figure 2).
