pUC_T7Promoter_eCFP

High-copy number plasmid encoding for enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (eCFP) under T7 Promoter. The plasmid was utilised as part of a reporter system to evaluate the efficiency of T7 RNA polymerase and its variants. The plasmid was constructed using ligation from the following parts found in the iGEM Registry: • BBa_J428353 - pJUMP28-1A(sfGFP) • BBa_K3457003 - T7 Promoter • BBa_J428032 - Ribosomal Binding Site (RBS) • BBa_E0020 - eCFP • BBa_J428091 - T7Terminator

Usage and Biology

T7 RNA Polymerase (T7RNAP) is a RNA polymerase derived from the T7 bacteriophage. It shows very high transcriptional activity, and is very specific to its cognate promoter: 5'-TAATACGACTCACTATAGG-3'. T7 RNA Polymerase is widely utilised in the field of biotechnology, such as in areas of in vivo protein expression and in vitro transcription.

The main purpose of this plasmid is to serve as a reporter system, to evaluate the efficiency of the T7 RNA polymerase and other generated variants.

Characterization

The plasmid was first transformed into BL21 (DE3) E. coli cells, followed by colony PCR to confirm the successful transformation. A single colony was then inoculated for further culturing for IPTG induction. While initial results showed that fluorescence was observed, further sub-culturing has resulted in the loss of fluorescence due to a mutation found within the coding sequence of the T7RNAP.
