J23114-XylS-Terminator

For detailed information concerning XylS, please visit 2013 Peking iGEM Biosensor XylS


Characterization

In order to fine-tune the performance of XylS biosensor, we constructed a library of Pc constitutive promoters at different intensity. BBa_K1031916 is composed of three elements, the constitutive Pc promoter J23114, coding sequence of XylS and terminator B0015. (Fig 1)

Construction and tuning

Induction ratio of XylS biosensor library from ON/OFF test that utilizes different Pc promoters to control the expression of XylS. The dashed box refers to data for Pm/J23114-XylS biosensor circuit (Fig 2) This figure shows the biosensor circuit adopting J23114 obtains the optimal performance.

Fig 2 Horizontal axis stands for different XylS biosensor with Pc promoters of different strength. The expression strength of these constitutive promoters, J23113, J23109, J23114, J23105, J23106 is 21, 106, 256, 623, and 1185, respectively, according to the Parts' registry. Four kinds of aromatics, namely BzO, 2-MxeBzO, 3-MeBzO and 4-MeBzO, shown with different color intensities, were tested following Test Protocol 1. Vertical axis represents the ON/OFF induction ratio. The dashed box refers to performance for Pm/J23114-XylS biosensor circuit.


ON/OFF test

20 compounds showed apparent activation effect with the induction ratios over 20, they are listed as follows: BzO, 2-MeBzO, 3-MeBzO, 4-MeBzO, 2-FBzO, 4-FBzO, 2-ClBzO, 3-ClBzO, 4-ClBzO, 2-BrBzO, 4-BrBzO, 3-IBzO, 3-MeOBzO, SaA, 3-MeOSaA, 4-ClSaA, 5-ClSaA, 3-MeBAD, 3-ClTOL (Fig.3)

(b) The aromatics-sensing profile of XylS biosensor is summarized from (a), highlighted in red in the aromatics spectrum. The structure formula of typical inducers are listed around the central spectrum, near their chemical formula.



Dose-response curve to benzoate, salicylic acid and derivatives
Pm/J23114-XylS biosensor circuit was subjected to induction experiments with concentration of inducer ranging at 10 µM, 30µM,100µM, 300µM and 1000µM according to protocol 1. (Fig.4).
