Mature Nuclease NucA from Staphylococcus aureus (Thermonuclease) in RFC[25]

Thermonuclease is a endo-exonuclease from Staphylococcus aureus that degrades dsDNA, ssDNA, dsRNA and ssRNA. This part is coding the mature form of the nuclease, also called NucA. This part is flanked by RFC[25] pre- and suffix for further protein fusions.

Contribution Summary:

NUS Singapore 2021 has successfully cloned part into S. cerevisiae and tested part by placing nuclease downstream of the galactose inducible promoter Gal1 (Figure 1). Kill switch efficacy was not optimal and post-induction of NucA yielded a 82% survival rate in S. cerevisiae.

Figure 1: Construct schematic of part assembled with a Gal1 promoter upstream to trigger galactose dependent endonuclease activity

It was postulated that part of the poor activity was due to a lack of a nuclear localization sequence (NLS), hence the inability for NucA translated in the cytosol from accessing the genomic DNA within the nucleus in S. cerevisiae chassis.

In order to improve the efficacy of the nuclease, a NLS sequence was added to the N-terminus of the part, as this was expected to increase the amount of NucA that is translocated to the nucleus to digest the genome and DNA, which in turn will increase the mortality rate of the cell culture.

Attempted to perform part improvement by adding a nuclear localization signal tag to the 5' end of the part sequence to improve the kill switch efficacy in part BBa_K3927015. Addition of NLS improved reduced overall overall survival rate post induction (figure 2).

Figure 2: CFU assay results from pGNucA-H(BY4741) and pGNLSNucA-H(BY4741), ratio of colonies counted from plates with the nuclease induced to the colonies counted from the plates with nuclease uninduced. Nuclease with the NLS attached reduces the total number of live colonies on the plate.
