pTol2: a Tol2 vector - the Tol2 transposable element


T--Mingdao--BBa K3728002-1.png

ThisTol2 transposon system is highly used in zebrafish transgenesis. The transposase protein (TPase) is from the Medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) aka Japanese rice fish, which catalyzes the transposition of the Tol2 elements through cut-and-paste mechanism. The minimal transposable Tol2 sequence (mTol2) contains 200-bp left arm and 150-bp right arm. Up to 11kb DNA insert between Tol2 sequence can be integrated into the genome of nearly all vertebrates including zebrafish, frog, chicken, mouse, and human [1].

ThisA further application in synthetic biology was demonstrated by Jun Ni, et. al.[2], in which the recombinant TPase protein is fully functional in HeLa cell line and Zebrafish germline cells. In addition, the TPase can be expressed under T7 promoter in E. coli BL21 and purified with N-terminal 6xHis tag. The transposase is active in vitro and mediated the integration of DNA fragments between plasmids with Tol2 elements.

ThisIn our study, we constructed BioBrick Parts of T7-TPase (BBa_K3728001) and the BioBrick compatible Tol2 vectors (BBa_K3728003) with reporter (KanR:BBa_K3728004; GFP:BBa_K3728005; RFP:BBa_K3728006; amilCP:BBa_K3728007) and Phi29 DNA polymerase genes (BBa_K3728008). We prepared the In vitro transcription-translation (TXTL) system [3][4]and expressed the functional reporter proteins. The recombinant TPase and Phil29 DNA polymerase with His tag were expressed in E. coli BL21. The purified proteins were functional in the plasmid integration assay and rolling circle amplification(RCA) application, respectively.
