PSAD-promotor for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick)

This basic part contains the coding sequence of the PSAD-promotor (A1-B1). This part is codon-optimized for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and was built as part of the CYPurify Collection. In combination with a coding sequence like CYP3A4 (BBa_K4806000) and a terminator like tRPL23 (BBa_K3002006), this level 0 part leads to expression of your target protein (Einhaus et al., 2021). To detect the target protein a tag like HA-tag (BBa_K3002017) is recommended.


Constructs

Fig.1 Construct design
We designed 4 level 2 constructs containing the PSAD-promotor using the modular cloning system (MoClo).


Here are the links to the built constructs:

  • 1. The POR gene for expression in the chloroplast for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806212)
  • 2. CYP2D6 gene for expression in the chloroplast for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806208)
  • 3. CYPCamC gene for expression in the chloroplast for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806217)
  • 4. CYP3A4 gene for expression in the chloroplast for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806203)

These constructs were transformed into Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Besides the PSAD-promotor the constructs contain the CTPPSAD transit peptide to the chloroplast (BBa_K4806014), either the POR (BBa_K4806003), CYP2D6 (BBa_K4806001), CYPCamC (BBa_K4806002) or the CYP3A4 coding sequence (BBa_K4806000), the HA-tag (BBa_K3002017 for detection and the tRPL23-terminator (BBa_K3002006). The resistance cassette for hygromycin, paromomycin or spectinomycin is already built in the level 2 vector pMBS810 we are using. The usage of this vector allows the direct assembly of level 0 parts to level 2 constructs, facilitating the cloning time (Niemeyer & Schroda, 2022).

Results

We tried to detected the expression of the POR, CYP2D6, CYPCamC and CYP3A4 targeted to the chloroplast with HA-tag (BBa_K4806212, BBa_K4806208, BBa_K4806217, BBa_K4806203) via immunoblotting.

(1a-4a) Level 2 MoClo construct for expression of the enzyme POR, CYP2D6, CYPCamC and CYP3A4 containing the CTPPSAD transit peptide to the chloroplast were designed (see Fig.1 for part description)

For reference, the UVM4 recipient strain and a strain expressing the HA-tagged ribosomal chloroplast 50S protein L5 (RPL5) were used as a negative and positive control, respectively.

For detection the UVM4 strain was transformed with the construct in (1a-4a). 30 antibiotic resistant transformants (depending on the construct) were cultivated in TAP medium and samples were taken after 3 days. Whole-cell proteins were extracted and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using an anti-HA antibody. The expression of the POR (~77 kDa), CYP2D6 (~56 kDa) CYPCamC (~ 47 kDa) and CYP3A4 (~57 kDa) is not visible.
