DIPHTOX
Using the wild-type diphtheria exotoxin to characterize HB-EGF/Tar receptor could be harmful due to biosafety reason. To tackle this problem, our team design a much simplified diphtheria toxin by removing the domain that is deadly to the cell. This domain, named domain C, will be translocated into the cell with the aid of other domains in toxin called domain R and domain T. Additionally, R domain recognized the natural HBEGF receptor, and T domain will insert the C domain into the cell. Thus, C domain would catalyze NAD-dependent ADP-ribosylation of EF-2 and leads to cellular apoptosis1. This remodeled toxin, coined DiphTox, is incorporated in the plasmids (such as pSB1C3 and pEQ80L) along with the following parts.

Amplification of single biobrick are done via PCR cloning using ‘self-made’ universal forward (Primer Cloning Fwd) and reverse primers (Primer Cloning Rev). The following sequences are the primers for PCR cloning.
Primers | Sequence | Melting Temperatures (Tm) | GC Content (%) | Hairpin Structure Energy Formation (kcal/mol) | Self-dimer Energy Formation (kcal/mol) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fwd Cloning | 5’ AGTTCAAGTGTCCGAGAA 3’ | 60.20C | 44.4% | 0.64 | -3.61 |
Rev Cloning | 5’ TAAGCGAGTGCCGTATTA 3’ | 60.10C | 44.4% | -1.36 | -3.61 |
Table 1. PCR Cloning Amplification Primers
Note: Both heterodimer energy formations are -3.61 kcal/mol. Additionally, the predicted specifications are based on IDT Oligo Analyzer 3.1 server. PCR solution is predicted to contain 0.2 mM dNTP, 50 mM Na+, 5 mM Mg2+, and 0.3 mM oligos.
Confirmation of gBlocks insertion into plasmid could be confirmed using PCR colony method using following primer. Note that HbT1 Fwd and HbT2 Rev is the same primer used in HT fragments to do in DipthTox gBlocks.
Primers | Sequence | Melting Temperatures (Tm) | GC Content (%) | Hairpin Structure Energy Formation (kcal/mol) | Self-dimer Energy Formation (kcal/mol) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
HbT1 Fwd | 5’ CTTACGCTTCTGCCACAT 3’ | 61.70C | 50% | -0.84 | -3.61 |
HbT2 Rev | 5’ CCCCTGACTGAGCATGAT 3’ | 62.80C | 55.6% | 0.57 | -5.38 |

Note: Both heterodimer energy formation exhibits -5.04 kcal/mol free energy.
For iGEM biobrick submission, we would use prefix and suffix that contain EcoRI and PstI. Further characterization of the biobrick of DiphTox could be accessed via http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2607000. HindIII site and BamHI are inserted upstream from prefix and downstream from suffix respectively. The DiphTox contains only the last 54 amino acid from the R domain which has no cytotoxicity and significant enough to bind with HBEGF receptor2. At the downstream of the sequence, designing six histidine amino acids is essential for His-tag protein purification, as well as characterizing the DiphTox and HB-EGF/Tar receptor kinetics. Ribosome Binding Site (RBS) is located upstream within the gBlocks containing Shine-Dalgarno sequence as follow.

HB-EGF/Tar
HB-EGF/Tar is a synthetically combined receptor used as project’s diagnostic tool system. Since there was limitation in its biobrick construction (for its high DNA complexity and base pairs length as gBlocks), we separate the HB-EGF/Tar sequence into two fragments called HB-EGF/Tar Fragment 1 (HT-1) in the upstream, and the other one would be HB-EGF/Tar Fragment 2 (HT-2). The schematic structure of HT-1 biobrick is as follow.
Figure 2. HB-EGF/Tar Fragment 1 Biobrick.
The HT-1 fragment consist of 981 bp sequence that include SalI cutting site and specified PCR colony reverse primer (HbT1 rev). Amplification of single biobrick are done via PCR cloning using ‘self-made’ universal forward (Primer Cloning Fwd) and reverse primers (Primer Cloning Rev), which are the same as cloning primer for DiphTox gBlocks.
For confirmation of this biobrick existence inside E. coli, PCR colony is essential, using specific primers named “PCR colony HbT1 fwd” for forward primer and “PCR colony HbT1 rev” for reverse primer. They are constructed using NCBI primer BLAST website. The sequences are served as follows.
Primers | Sequence | Melting Temperatures (Tm) | GC Content (%) | Hairpin Structure Energy Formation (kcal/mol) | Self-dimer Energy Formation (kcal/mol) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
HbT1 Fwd | 5’ CTTACGCTTCTGCCACAT 3’ | 61.70C | 50% | -0.84 | -3.61 |
HbT1 Rev | 5’ TTCTTACGCTTCCCATGTTC 3’ | 62.10C | 45% | 0.64 | -5.38 |

Note: Both heterodimer energy formations are -4.77 kcal/mol.
Biobrick RFC10 prefix is necessary and would be cut using EcoRI enzyme for submission. Active gene transcription includes highly expressing T7 constitutive promoter (Bba_I712074) located in the upstream part of HT-1. Ribosomal binding site (RBS) (Bba_B0034) functions to initiate direct HB-EGF/Tar translation (HbTf1-RBS). It is 18 bp in length with the following sequence, 5' AAAGAGGAGAAATACTAG 3’, conformed with Shine-Dalgarno sequence
The next fragment of HB-EGF/Tar Sequence, called HB-EGF/Tar Fragment 2 (HT-2), will be ligated exactly next to the first one via SalI restriction site. Schematic representation of HB-EGF/Tar Fragment 2 is as follow.
Figure 3. HB-EGF/Tar Fragment 2 Biobrick.
To amplify this part, we would use universal PCR cloning forward and reverse primers with their sequences same as HT-1 and DiphTox gBlocks. PCR colony, with a specific primer named “HbT2 fwd” for forward primer and “HbT2 Rev” for reverse primer, could be used to confirm any successful transformation of ligated insert. Both primers are constructed with NCBI primer BLAST website and have the sequence detailed below.
Primers | Sequence | Melting Temperatures (Tm) | GC Content (%) | Hairpin Structure Energy Formation (kcal/mol) | Self-dimer Energy Formation (kcal/mol) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
HbT2 Fwd | 5’ GTTAGCGGTCTCAGAAATGG 3’ | 62.20C | 50% | -1.15 | -3.61 |
HbT2 Rev | 5’ CCCCTGACTGAGCATGAT 3’ | 62.80C | 55.6% | 0.57 | -5.38 |
