Applications of BBa_K864400

Team INSA Lyon 2016

Author: Gonthier Mathilde

Summary: The INSA Lyon 2016 team used this part in order to characterize it. A GFP or a CFP coding genes were set after this promotor, by measuring the fluorescence of the expressions cultures having these constructs the team was able to gather some informations about the behavior of this promotor. For further informations you may consult both BBa_K1934040 and BBa_K1934050 registry pages.

We have used pTac to express the key protein of our project: Geobacter sulfurreducens' pilin-based electrically conductive protein nanowires (e-PNs). The gene circuit includes this tac promoter which promotes the pilin gene(pilA) to express protein monomers; the monomers are later assembled into protein nanowires by the TypeIV pilin assembly system, which is constructed from the gene cluster at the downstream of the pilin gene(figure 1).

The e-PN can be successfully expressed by express this part under the control of this pTac, and the result was verified by Western Blot(figure 2).

This part function as described by our team, it's an efficient promotor. But notice that it tends to leak after a few hours.
