Part:BBa_K775000

RI7-GPR109A Niacin chimeric GPCR

BBa_K775000 encodes a chimeric niacin-sensing G-protein coupled receptor which can be functionally expressed in S. cerevisiae. This chimeric receptor is composed of the ligand-binding domain of the mammalian GPR109A, flanked by the N- and C- terminals of the rat OR RI7.

Immunolocalization of the receptor protein using FLAG treatment. A halo formation indicates appropriate localization in the membrane

Flow cytometry results of cells stained with Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Orange DNA Stain after 4.40 hours after activation with a saturative amount of nicotinic acid. In the middle and right picture a shift of peaks can be observed, corresponding with formation of more haploid cells (left) in comparison with diploid cells (right).

BBa_K775000 parameters

Burden Imposed by this Part:

Burden Value: 2.8 ± 6.2%

Burden is the percent reduction in the growth rate of E. coli cells transformed with a plasmid containing this BioBrick (± values are 95% confidence limits). This BioBrick did not exhibit a burden that was significantly greater than zero (i.e., it appears to have little to no impact on growth). Therefore, users can depend on this part to remain stable for many bacterial cell divisions and in large culture volumes. Refer to any one of the BBa_K3174002 - BBa_K3174007 pages for more information on the methods, an explanation of the sources of burden, and other conclusions from a large-scale measurement project conducted by the 2019 Austin_UTexas team.

This functional parameter was added by the 2020 Austin_UTexas team.
