MazE antitoxin and Dre recombinase regulated by a hydrogen sulfide switch
Purposes and Design
In our project, we wanted to construct a three-gear kill switch based on hydrogen sulfide sensing, so we needed a component that would allow both MazE and Dre recombinases to be regulated by an H2S-mediated switch. In this element, MazE and Dre are controlled by Pcstr (BBa_K3823008), which is repressed by CstR(BBa_K3823006).CstR is an HSnH sensitive regulator.
Its position in our plasmid construction is shown here(Figure 1.).
We contacted Professor Huaiwei Liu from Shandong University based on literature and fortunately got his help. Using the plasmid he donated as a template, we successfully amplified the CstR-Pcstr sequence(Figure 2A) and used it for our plasmid construction. We successfully constructed the plasmid CstR-Pcstr-MazE -Dre and amplified CstR-Pcstr-MazE-Dre(BBa_K3823010)(Figure 2B).Then we cloned CstR-Pcstr-MazE-Dre to pACYC-rox-ter-rox-MazF.
However, according to the sequencing results, we found that Pcstr was missing(not in the PCR product), probably due to the complexity of each block. Meanwhile, we found the terminator between the two rox sites was partly moved after we cultured the final plasmid. We assumed that it could be the leakage of Pcstr that turned on the expression of Dre, which then cut off the terminator. This means we need to optimize our design.
