oz21_A_ToeholdSwitch-Regulated Invertase
Introduction
oz21_A_ToeholdSwitch-Regulated Invertase is a genetic device that can be applied as a biosensor for miRNA. It is designed to detect and measure the amount of miR-21 by the expression of Thermotoga maritima Invertase (BBa_K3431000). The invertase can convert sucrose to glucose, which can be easily measured by a personal glucose meter (PGM).
Components
oz21_A_ToeholdSwitch-Regulated Invertase consists of 4 basic parts: T7 promoter (BBa_I719005), oz21_A toehold switch (BBa_K3431006), invertase (BBa_K3431000), and T7 terminator (BBa_K731721). The mechanism of the detection is mainly based on the regulatory part, oz21_A Toehold Switch for miR-21 Detection (BBa_K3431006). Upon binding with miR-21, its hairpin structure can be opened up and the ribosomes can bind with its RBS (ribosome binding site), triggering the translation process of the downstream reporter, invertase (BBa_K3431000). As for the T7 promoter (BBa_I719005) and T7 terminator (BBa_K731721), they are the essential genetic elements for the PURExpress protein synthesis kit.
