Part:BBa_K1548002

Hsp60 Promoter-RBS-mRFP1-6xHisTag Strong constitutive promoter from M. bovis which has also shown to function in a variety of mycobacteria (1) drives constitutive expression of mRFP1-6xHisTag protein using the Hsp60 promoter from M. bovis (Combination of K1548000 and K1491009). It is expected to function in P. acnes a closely-related propionibacterium. The promoter does not function in E. coli, as we determined by an mRFP1 expression assay in the context of Part:BBa_K1548002, https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1548002 (Figure 1). This negative result was confirmed by E. coli promoter prediction software BPROM on (http://linux1.softberry.com/berry.phtml?topic=bprom&group=programs&subgroup=gfindb) which did not detect appropriate -10 and -35 E. coli promoter elements in the hsp60 promoter DNA sequence, validating our negative result. Figure 1.The hsp60 promoter does not produce mRFP1 in E. coli. E. coli cells containing the hsp60-RBS-mRFP1 plasmid or hsp60-alone negative control plasmid were grown O/N and then diluted 1:250, grown for 4hrs diliuted to equal OD600 and assayed for mRFP1 fluoresecence in a fluorescence plate reader. n=3 and Stdev is plotted.
