Applications of BBa_K3239009

This construct is designed to moderately up-regulate the AOX1 promoter (P_AOX1) activity in P. pastoris GS115. It is to be homogeneously recombined into the P_AOX1-GFP strain.

Upon methanol induction, P_PRM1 expression of the homogeneous PRM1 gene is activated, and further amplified via the self-upregulation of Prm1. Prm1 then activates P_MIT1, upregulating the expression of the homogeneous MIT1 gene and the heterogeneous PRM1 gene. This overall leads to a strong activation of P_{AOX1 expression of the AOX1 gene.}

Unlike in the wild type P. pastoris GS115 where PRM1 gene expression is then inhibited by Mit1, in the pGMP1-P_AOX1-GFP strain, the heterogeneous PRM1 gene is constantly self-upregulated due to the upregulation of P_MIT1 by Prm1. This leads to an overall upregulation of the expression of P_AOX1 transcription factors and hence shall further up-regulate P_AOX1 activity compared to wildtype P. pastoris GS115.

Given that in constructed strains, P_AOX1 not only expresses the yEGFP3 reporter gene, but also the homogeneous AOX1 gene, the pGMP1-P_AOX1-GFP strain should not only have a higher GFP yield compared to the P_AOX1-GFP strain (see part BBa_K3239007) but also exhibit higher growth rates since it should be more capable of metabolizing methanol.
