Plac-RFP(DAS)

Lactose/IPTG inducible promoter with RFP reporter tagged with DAS-ssrA degradation tag followed by terminator. The tagged RFP is degraded within cell (Figure 1), thus provides better temporal resolution of red fluorescence and promoter activity. Presence of SspB is crucial for effective protein degradation.

Figure 1 SsrA degron mediated protein degradation. (A) Any version of SsrA tags can be attached to any protein of interest (e.g. RFP or GFP). (B) The tag is recognized by ClpX unfoldase forming a complex with ClpP protease and the tagged protein gets degraded.

Usage and Biology

[http://2017.igem.org/Team:Kingsborough_NY Team Kingsborough NY 2017] contributed to the characterization of this part by showing decreased fluorescence when expressed either in a higher salt media - such as LB with 3% sodium chloride - or E. coli that lacks tmRNA, the principal component of the cell's ribosome rescue system. Cells without tmRNA will have less native ssrA substrates, and this may lead to increased degradation of ssrA tagged RFP.
