Constitutive promoter J23109, strong RBS and Kil protein combination for high secretion levels
Kil protein accumulates in the periplasmic space of the bacteria, the periplasmic space was increased and the membrane permeability of bacteria was improved, thereby the protein inside the bacteria can secrete out of bacteria. But only when the intensity of the promoter is proper, the secretion can be achieved and prevent cell lysis and death. Here we use different constitutive promoters to regulate the expression of kil protein to enhance its secretion ability.
Biology
In wild-type E.coli exist a plasmid named colE1, the kil gene of the ColE1 plasmid encodes a peptide that, at low levels, causes the release of periplasmic proteins without cell lysis. In contrast, high-level induction results in cell lysis and death. This indicates that the regulation of kil gene expression is critical for utilization in a protein secretion system. The main problem when using constitutive promoters for kil gene expression is the rapid decrease of the viability of bacterial cells before a sufficient amount of target protein has been produced. Using the kil gene under the control of the weak constitutive promoter enabled viability to be maintained.[1]
Here, we use BBa_J23109, BBa_J23112 and BBa_J23109 to demonstrate the effect of the kil gene controlled by the J21309 series promoters (BBa_J23109) on the release of periplasmic enzymes into the extracellular medium. We fused a synthetic DNA region containing the promoter of the J23109/J23112/J23114 genes with the kil gene and constructed secretion cassettes, where target genes BBa_K118022 of interest can be easily integrated.
