psaAB operon promoter, 5'UTR, and RBS with GFP

Protein generator shown to function in E. coli (Figure 1). Testing in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 pending.

Promoter is from psaAB operon from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The promoter region contains the promoter, 5'UTRand RBS of this operon. The promoter belongs to the Type I promoter family from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, and possesses a -30 box and a -10 box. The operon produces PsaA and PsaB, Plastocyanin/cytochrome c6-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, which accepts and transfers electrons from P700 chlorophyll.

Protein generator was used as the standard for expression levels of USU iGEM 2010 team parts in E. coli. Expression results shown in Table 1 below. Expression in E. coli is due to the high homology with sigma70 promoter binding sequence and the E. coli consensus RBS sequence (Tables 2 and 3).

Table 2. Sigma factor binding site alignments. Underlined sequences are the binding region for sigma70 sigma factor from E. coli. Bases in red are exact matches to the consensus sequence.

Table 3. Ribosome binding site sequence alignments. The regions 25 bp upstream of the start codon for each gene were aligned to the E. coli consensus RBS sequence. Underlined sequences are the binding region for the 9 bp 3’ end of the 16S rRNA subunit in E. coli. Bases in red are exact matches to the consensus sequence.
