Summary: we added information about the promoter and on its mechanism.

This is a strong constitutive yeast expression promoter from glyceraldehyde 3-phosphage dehydrogenase. Also called TDH3 or GAPDH. Studies have found the promoter activity of TDH3 decreased significantly when glycerol or xylose was supplied as the carbon source and at high temperatures (42 °C) . Oxygen conditions had non-significant effect.

About the protein - the promoter was taken from the Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase peptide (GAPDH), that involves in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. The protein is a tetramer that catalyzes the reaction of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3 bis-phosphoglycerate, detected in the cytoplasm and cell wall. GAPDH-derived antimicrobial peptides secreted by S. cerevisiae are active against a wide variety of wine-related yeasts and bacteria.

Tianjin 2021's characterization

Characterization of TDH3 Promoter’s GFP expression in 4742 yeast

Summary: we characterized TDH3 Promoter’s GFP expression in 4742 yeast.

Background

In order to verify whether the TDH3 promoter can express the GFP signal intensity required in experiment, we characterized the TDH3 promoter’s efficiency. We constructed a GFP fragment that was controlled by the TDH3 promoter and bound it to the chromosome genome of 4742 yeast. Firstly, we used glucose as the carbon source for enrichment, then used galactose as the carbon source for induction, and recorded the time of induction as zero point of time. The GFP expression levels of yeast at 15h, 20h,25h and 30h were measured by microplate analyzer. Meanwhile, we used 4742 yeast as control group.

Result

We tested the expression intensity of GFP by TDH3 promoter and expressed it by fluorescence intensity /OD600. The excitation/emission wavelength of GFP in the microplate detector was set as 488/535nm. The results clearly indicated that TDH1 promoter is not strong enough and thus not appropriate for the analysis of GFP in the 4742 yeasts.
