Name: pBAD strong Input: [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Arabinose L-arabinose] Output: PoPS Part Main Page        Part Design        Characterization        Family        Add Data

Usage and Biology

pBAD is an E.coli promoter that is induced by L-arabinose. In the absence of arabinose, the repressor protein AraC (BBa_I13458) binds to the AraI1 operator site of pBAD and the upstream operator site AraO2, blocking transcription [1]. In the presence of arabinose, AraC binds to it and changes its conformation such that it interacts with the AraI1 and AraI2 operator sites, permitting transcription [1].

K206000 is a variant pBAD promoter with a modified AraI1 site that has been shown both to be responsive to lower concentrations of arabinose and to exhibit a higher maximum expression than the wild type (BBa_I13453), as measured by coupling to a fluorescent reporter.

What you can do with it:
At a given level of arabinose input, BBa_K206000 will provide a higher level of PoPS output than its family members, allowing analog device responses. See [http://2009.igem.org/Team:British_Columbia our wiki] for a project that makes use of this property.

Compatibility:
Chassis: Best used in the E. coli strain [http://cgsc.biology.yale.edu/Strain.php?ID=111773 BW27783], which has been modified to permit homogeneous pBAD promoter expression by substituting the chromosomal arabinose-dependent promoter of AraE (arabinose transporter protein) with a constitutive promoter [2].
Backbone: Has been shown to work on plasmid pSB1C3.
Reporter: Has been shown to work with reporters BBa_I13507 and BBa_I763020.

Characterized by BNU-China 2019

We characterize pBAD (BBa_K206000) by an induced suicide system, in which pBAD controls the downstream mazF (BBa_K302033) gene that serves as a reporter, which encodes an endoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs at ACA sites and causes the death of microbe [1]. As a result, we can characterize pBAD in a cell density-dependent manner in Escherichia coli K-12.

In order to characterize pBAD induced by L-arabinose under different concentrations, we take engineered microbe without induction as control group.

As is shown in Fig.1, the cell number of experimental groups show a significant decrease, which indicates pBAD can be induced by 1.25μM/L and 2.5μM/L arabinose, and 2.5μM/L can be considered as a more effective concentration.

Figure 1 Cell number declines after induction by L-arabinose. It proves that pBAD is induced by L-arabinose.

Beyond our project, pBAD is applied for heterologous gene expression due to its advantages, including moderately high expression levels, induction by a low-cost and non-toxic monosaccharide L-arabinose and tight regulation of transcription, which is particularly significant to expressing toxins.

Experimental approach

1. Transform the plasmids into E. coli DH5α competent cells. 2. The engineered bacteria are cultured in 200mL LB-ampicillin (50 ng/µl) medium overnight at 37℃, 200rpm; 3. Equally divide the culture into 90 centrifuge tubes, which is 1mL respectively. Centrifuge them at 4000rpm for 5 minutes. Discard the liquid. 4. Resuspend 30 tubes of collected bacteria with LB-ampicillin (50 ng/µl) containing 1.25μM/L and 2.5μM/L L-arabinose respectively as experimental groups. Resuspend 30 tubes of bacteria with pure LB-ampicillin (50 ng/µl) medium. 5. Collect 3 tubes of all groups every 6 hours, dilute all of the samples to 107 times and then spread them on solid LB-ampicillin (50 ng/µl) medium separately. At the same time, refresh the medium to maintain the concentration of L-arabinose. 6. Count the number of colonies in 5 cm2 per plate after cultured for 24 hours at 37℃ 7. Three repicas are tested in each group.
