GFP_N1
This device is a negative control of GFP with scaf.
Usage and Biology
This is the nagative GFP. Using the DNA-binding characteristic of the TAL effector, we can generate a new method to increase the production of
heterogenous multi-enzymatic reactions in Prokaryotic cells by rationally designed TALE proteins fused with specific
enzymes and their corresponding DNA sequences (as known as Binding Motifs [BMs]). Here we used Escherichia coli as our
chassis. A plasmid backbone was used as the scaffold for those BMs. The same plasmid was used to encode the fusion protein.
Thus, enzymes fused with TALE proteins could be gathered around the DNA scaffolds, enrich the local enzyme concentration,
and promote the rate of reaction.
This is the first experimental group of our project. Our theory is feasible if the functional parameter of this group is
stronger than the group of negative control.
Split GFP is a technique that has been widely used in the research of protein-protein interaction. In our project, we
demonstrated a prototype by fusing the Amino (or Carboxyl) Half of GFP with TALE1 (or TALE2/3).
By integrating the coding sequences of the TALE-fused proteins and the scaffold, three different plasmids can be
constructed and this is the second one.

Functional Parameters
Functional check:
Methodology: In order to investigate whether the fluorescence
observed was due to the presence of the original GFP-N2 construction.
First of all, the recombinant colonies were transferred into
LB culture medium with chloramphenicol, and shook overnight at 37 ℃,
then took the medium for PCR templet. Meanwhile, we extracted plasmid DNA
using a miniprep kit and did a digest with Xbal1 and Pst1 to check
for the presence of the original insert and size of the unfolded vector, respectively.
Result and discussion: The DNA positive strand and the insert
is very clearly visible at just below 3kb and 5kb.
This proves the presence of GFP-N2 in culture.
