Part:BBa_K3423005
a controlled protein expression system
Protein anti-CRISPR-associated 1 (Aca1) is constitutively expressed by T7 promoter, Aca1 will subsequently inhibit the anti-CRISPR promoter, so the gene expression downstream anti-CRISPR promoter will be inhibited until Navitoclax (a compound that can inhibit Aca1 found by SUSTech_Shenzhen) is added artificially. Without the inhibition from Aca1, the expression of genes downstream anti-CRISPR promoter will increase significantly. Therefore, protein expression can be regulated artificially.
We tested this composite part using green fluorescent protein as a reporter, the green fluorescence intensity is measured with a microplate reader:
When Aca1 is mutated at its 44th amino acid (Arginine to alanine, Aca1R44A),the difference expression level of green fluorescent protein could be easily observed with naked eyes:
