I0500-B0034-his-linker-GFP-B0015

GFP is used to verify whether the outer-membrane vesicles can conduct horizontal gene transfer. In order to make bond with secondary antibody to detect the produce of GFP as a signal showing successful transformation, we added a his-tag (6*His) at the N-terminal of GFP. And to reduce the possibility that the his-tag may affect the function of GFP, we added a linker between his-tag and GFP.

Usage

The circuit is used to verify whether plasmids could be passed from outer-membrane vesicles (OMVs). If the transformation was done, the engineering bacteria can produce green fluorescence protein after being induced by L-arabinose. We used both BBa_I0500 and BBa_B0015 to construct the expression system and obtained this circuit, which are assembled on the expression vector pUC57-Simple by standard assembly. The constructed plasmids were transformed into E. coli DH5α and BL21(DE3), then the positive transformants were selected by ampicillin and confirmed by colony PCR and sequencing. After a successful construction was confirmed, we carried out outer membrane (OMVs) extraction to obtain OMVs we need to incubate with Vibrio alginolyticus.

Biology

GFP

A gene codes for a green fluorescence protein. Whether the fluorescence of GFP presents or not after inducing is our standard to confirm the success of incubation caused transformation from OMVs to Vibrio alginolyticus.


Characterization

identification

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis When we were constructing this circuit, regular PCR was used to certify the plasmid was correct(Fig. 1). We got the target bands(2199 bp) at the position beween 2000 bp and 3000 bp.

OMVs extraction and plasmids packaging verification

The colony with the correct sequence was cultivated to extract OMVs by hypervesiculation. After extraction, some OMVs were used to PCR to verify if there were target plasmids packaging in. The target bands(Fig. 2)(2199 bp) were observed at position between 2000 bp and 3000 bp.
