tTA Induceable EYFP Reporter

Components

This part consists of the bidirectional Promoter Pbi-1 (BBa_K4497027), that is induced by the Transcription Factor tetracycline-inducable Transactivator (tTA). The promoter is made of Tetracycline repeat elements (TRE) with a minimal CMV promoter on both sides. The promoter induces expression of the downstream EYFP (BBa_K076004), allowing for an EYFP signal readout on tTA induction of the promoter.

We used the reporter as a means to read out the MESA receptor activation by our synthetic ligands for our planned quorum sensing loop system in mammalian cells/ CAR T cells. An induction of the receptor was measured using Flow cytometry.

Alternatives

As our MESA system incorporates a lot of fluorescent dyes to read out different aspects of our loop, we modified the reporter to miRFP680(Ex661/Em680) instead (BBa_K4497030), which does not clash with our other measurements:


  • Reporter: EYFP (Ex513/Em527)
  • Loop Ligand: 2xmCherry (Ex587/Em610), 2xmEGFP(Ex488/Em507)
  • Transcription Factor: BFP (Ex381/Em445)


This makes it a good alternative to this reporter if your samples also contain GFP

Origin

tTA Induceable EYFP Reporter can be ordered in the pBI-MCS plasmid from addgene: pBI-MCS-EYFP was a gift from Joshua Leonard (Addgene plasmid # 58855 ; http://n2t.net/addgene:58855 ; RRID:Addgene_58855)

The reporter is used in the corresponding paper: Modular Extracellular Sensor Architecture for Engineering Mammalian Cell-based Devices. Daringer NM, Dudek RM, Schwarz KA, Leonard JN. ACS Synth Biol. 2014 Mar 11. 10.1021/sb400128g PubMed 24611683 Sequence and Features
