                    The covalent linkage of ubiquitin to lysine residues of substrate proteins is a common means used by eucaryotic cells to signal their degradation by the 26S proteasome, a multiprotease complex located in the cytoplasm and the nucleus<sup><a href="#re2">[2]</a></sup>. Decades ago it had been demonstrated that the PEST regions, enriched with Pro, Glu, Ser, and Thr, were identified to indeed control the ubiquitination of regulatory short-lived proteins<sup><a href="#re1">[1]</a></sup>
 +
, such as transactivator Gcn4<sup><a href="#re3">[3]</a></sup> and G1 cyclins in yeast and mammalian cells. Phosphorylation of particular Ser or Thr residues in the PEST regions of these G1 cyclins specifies their recognition and processing by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

<p>For teams seeking to improve upon a previous part or project, you should document all of your work on this page. Please remember to include all part measurement and characterization data on the part page on the Registry. Please include a link to your improved part on this page.</p>

<h3>Gold Medal Criterion #2</h3>
 
<p><b>Standard Tracks:</b> Create a new part that has a functional improvement upon an existing BioBrick part. The sequences of the new and existing parts must be different. You must perform experiments with both parts to demonstrate this improvement.  Document the experimental characterization on the Part's Main Page on the Registry for both the existing and new parts. Both the new and existing Main Page of each Part’s Registry entry must reference each other. Submit a sample of the new part to the Registry.
 
  
The existing part must NOT be from your 2018 part number range and must be different from the part documented in bronze #4.

We improved a new part (BBa_K2637010) from the wide-used luciferase, NanoLuc (BBa_K1680009) to speed up its degradation and increase the sensitivity.

Description

Inspired by our time-course measurement for the KaiABC oscillatory system, we realized the importance of the sensitivity of reporter genes when used to characterize the variation in our engineering strains.
With the knowledge that the instability of proteins is associated with the existence of the so-called PEST regions, which control the ubiquitination of regulatory short-lived proteins[1], we decided to optimize our NanoLuc with the potentially degrading sequence PSET to shorten its intracellular lifetime.

Function of PEST

The covalent linkage of ubiquitin to lysine residues of substrate proteins is a common means used by eucaryotic cells to signal their degradation by the 26S proteasome, a multiprotease complex located in the cytoplasm and the nucleus[2]. Decades ago it had been demonstrated that the PEST regions, enriched with Pro, Glu, Ser, and Thr, were identified to indeed control the ubiquitination of regulatory short-lived proteins[1] , such as transactivator Gcn4[3] and G1 cyclins in yeast and mammalian cells. Phosphorylation of particular Ser or Thr residues in the PEST regions of these G1 cyclins specifies their recognition and processing by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Sequence:
PEST sequence can be found in variety of eukaryotic cells and the sequence we used was from the literature Engineered Luciferase Reporter from a Deep Sea Shrimp Utilizing a Novel Imidazopyrazinone Substrate[4].

Experimental characterization

We compare the degradation of the origin with improved NanoLuc in 3 hours.

In this case, we have proved the newly constructed NanoLucPEST could work effectively in Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741. The sensitive reporter can be used in ample types of yeast after appropriate codon-optimization[5]
