Design Notes

BBa_K2127001 was designed to be expressible in E. coli to allow for easier characterization and study of the Transcription Factor Binding site (TFBS) obtained from Synechocystis PCC 6803. As shown by Dr MA with the study on promotor Cpc560, the TFBS showed a distinct effect on the ability to upregulate protein expression of a gene under promotor control. To see about developing a viable high expression and inducible promotor in for cyanobacterium, this TFBS was combined with a lac promotor under LacI regulation. The construct was then combined with our characterized His tagged psbB gene to determine and analyze the expression levels of the CP47His subunit. The construct was then combined with double stop codons and our own derivative of the BBa_B0015 double terminator (BBa_K2127007) to ensure that only the subunit will be expressed.

To test the construct, E coli DH5alpha F' Iq was chosen as a suitable transformation and expression host.This is due to the ease of transformation into this host and the presence of the mutated strong lac repressor. The idea of the system is to facilitate the future work involving photosystem components within well characterized organisms such as E coli. Consequentially, we also aim to develop a way to create inducible systems within cyanobacteria that will allow for easier genetic and protein work.
