Vibrio natriegens Native P1 promotor with mCherry
V. natriegens has been reported to have a remarkable doubling time of 9.8 min. As is the case for the better-studied but slower-growing E. coli, V. natriegens increases its number of ribosomes with the growth rate in order to achieve its extraordinarily high rate of protein synthesis. Multiple mechanisms contribute to this high ribosome synthesis efficiency, including high rRNA gene copy number, strong promoters that contain near-consensus −10, −35, and UP elements and activation by the transcription factor Fis. In addition, V. natriegens rRNA promoters exhibit the relatively short-lived open-complex characteristic of rRNA promoters in E. coli, potentially contributing to the regulation of these promoters in vivo. The native promoter P1 is a constitutive promoter. We fused the the native P1 promoter with mCherry fluorescent protein with the help of the 3A assembly cloning method.
The P1 promoter Part:BBa_K3171171 with Biobrick prefix and suffix was cloned with mCherry to obtain a composite part that constitutively expresses mCherry Part:BBa_J06602. The P1-mCherry plasmid was cloned into a backbone plasmid of Chloramphenicol resistance (pSB1C3).
The gene under the control of this promoter is transcribed constitutively. Fluorescence measurements of the construct in E. coli and V. natriegens reveal a constitutive expression of the reporter mCherry for both organisms. Interestingly our measurements show that the expression levels in E. coli are a lot higher than in V. natriegens as the fold change is 225 for E. coli compared to 3 for V. natriegens (figure 1).
