Design Notes

The Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 is a mode organism in Rhizobia. We looked for the papers related to the Quorum Sensing systems in S. meliloti Rm 1021, and then found the specific sequence in NCBI and asked the S. meliloti Rm 1021 strain from Nanjing Agricultural University. The SinI/R system have no threats to biosafety.

The Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 is a mode organism, it has been characterized most in the rhizobia. Especially the sinI, it has been applied by many functional gene researcher.

The Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 is got from Nanjing Agricultural University. The professor Zhu Jun and lecturer Zheng Huiming have applied the sinI gene and use it for functional gene expression.Usually, they will use the C18 reverse TLC to verify if the sinI have expressed itself. 

                         SinI.jpg

AS long as the sinI's sequence is right, it can have a right expression, producing the AHLs C12-HSL、3-Oxo-C14-HSL、C16:1-HSL、3-Oxo-C16:1-HSL、C18-HSL.

We have sent the sinI to the sequencing center, and it proves that it is 100% correct.

the sequecing result,

We use NCBI blast to analysis the sequence, finally get the result.

>lcl|23903 Length=645 

Score = 1192 bits (645),  Expect = 0.0 , Identities = 645/645 (100%), Gaps = 0/645 (0%)
Strand=Plus/Plus

So the sinI is right, when added proper promoter and RBS, it will work, producing AHLs C12-HSL、3-Oxo-C14-HSL、C16:1-HSL、3-Oxo-C16:1-HSL、C18-HSL.

Source

We got the S. meliloti 1021 from Nanjing Agriculture University, and then cloned the sinI gene from S. meliloti 1021 with primers designed by the part design tool in the website [ginkgobioworks.com]. We get its gene sequence from the www.microbesonline.org, and then cloned them through PCR with biobrick part primers.
