Part:BBa_K3526004

tac pro-atzR-T4 ter

A transcription factor, atzR, which can sense the presence of cyanuric acid.

Contribution

BBa_K3526004 is a composite part that contains a special transcription factor AtzR. This part should be used with the part BBa_K3526005. Under the presence of cyanuric acid (CYA), the AtzR can bind CYA and regulate the promoter PatzD. As a result, the GFP is expressed and emit green fluorescence.

Engineering Success

To test the function of part BBa_K3526004, we co-transform the part BBa_K3526004 and part BBa_K3526005 into Pseudomonas putida KT2440. After reading related articles, we choose 0μM, 50μM, and 100μM as the detection concentrations of CYA. After preliminary analysis, we obtained Figure 3.

The results of the experiment show that with the presence of part BBa_K3526004 and BBa_K3526005, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 can detect cyanuric acid.
