Part:BBa_K1152009:Experience
For validation and characterization of sfp as functional PPtase we used the indigoidine producing NRPS indC from P. luminiscense. This one module NRPS is able to convert glutamine into the bright blue pigment indigoidine.
We used this part in a pSB3K3-derived plasmid with a lac promoter (BBa_R0010) and the RBS BBa_B0029 for coexpression with pSB1C3 derived plasmids with following engineered indC deivatives:
indC derivative | T domain |
---|---|
BBa_K1152015 | T8 |
BBa_K1152016 | T10 |
BBa_K1152017 | T12 |
BBa_K1152018 | T13 |
BBa_K1152019 | T14 |
With indC as measuring device it is possible to determine effiency of phosphopantetheinyl transferase reaction of sfp. The following figures show indigoidine production derived from OD measurements. Because indigoidine has its absorbance maxima around 600 nm we had to take an additional OD value into account. To summarize measurements at OD800 and OD590 are used for calculation of indigoidine production. Detailed methodology is described at the iGEM 2013 Heidelberg project website ([http://2013.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Indigoidine|Heidelberg 2013 - Indigoidine]).
