Part:BBa_K3229301
McyD promoter reporter
This part is appropriate to measure the activity level of the putative mcyD promoter region. Normally we can find protein genes (McyABC and McyDEFGHIJ) next to the promoter in both 5'-3' and 3'-5' directions, thus the promoter can regulate the formation of the microcystin toxin through the synthesis of microcystin producing proteins. When the toxin is present it enhances the transcription from the promoter due to the phenomenon called autoinduction. We replaced the toxin-producing protein genes with GFP, thus when microcystin appears it induces the production of GFP. We will observe the emitted light with widely used fluorescence detector whether the emitted light is correlated with the amount of toxin. This part consists of the McyD promoter, RBS, GFP and a terminator sequence. We would like to transform our plasmid into Microcystis aeruginosa apart from E. coli. A shuttle plasmid that can replicate both in E. coli and Microcystis is required for this procedure, therefore we put a non-coding ATATATATAT sequence and a BamHI restriction site at the end of our construct. This enables us to insert the construct into the shuttle plasmid.
