Part:BBa_K4158012

SRTF1(E coli Codon Optimized sequence)

This part contains RBS and SRTF1-SSGSSG-TEV-His coding site.

SRTF1 sequence is optimized to E. coli codon. This part is the improvement of BBa_K3889021(B. sub optimized SRTF1).

SRTF1 amino acid sequence was cited from paper[1].

We designed this part by

• optimizing SRTF1 amino sequences to E.coli codon by geneart(Thermo).
• optimizeing the RBS by RBS calculator and RNA fold.

Then, we used the sequence fragment inserted the pET26b(+) to make SRTF1-enriched E.coli extract.

We demonstrated that this new part could detect progesterone in the cell-free protein synthesis system.

Fig. 2. shows the result of the cell-free protein synthesis reaction. All of the three samples contain the cell-free extracts expressing the transcription factor SRTF1. We added progesterone as 100uM in final concentration.

We could confirm below from Fig. 2..

• When progesterone was added in the absence of the reporter plasmid, an increase in GFP fluorescence was not observed (left).
• When only the plasmid was added in the absence of progesterone, an increase in GFP fluorescence was slightly observed, due to the leak expression (middle).
• When progesterone was added to the condition above, an increase in GFP fluorescence was observed (right).

So, we concluded below.

• Comparing the middle and the right, making activated SRTF1-enriched E.coli extract was successfully achieved.
• Comparing the left and the right, engineering SRTF1(progesterone) regulated reporter SRTF1 reporter gfp plasmid(BBa_K4158010) was successfully achieved. we achieved a project based on BioBricks, which is an important standard component in synthetic biology.

Thus, we succeeded in engineering SRTF1-enriched E.coli extract so that we could successfully constructed the SRTF1 E.cloli expressable plasmid(BBa_K4158010) as improvement of BBa_K3889021. (For more details, go to https://2022.igem.wiki/waseda-tokyo/results#progesterone-detection.)
