Demonstrate
Based on our promoter library, we selected three promoters (promoter 4, promoter 5 and promoter11) of different intensities to regulate the expression of the key nicotine-degrading gene nicA2.We’ve constructed lasmid, pBBR1-km-amp-cm-promoter-nic, and electroporated it into our new chassis bacteria,
We found that there are only a few colonies of
Plasmid in P. fluorescences pf-5 | Strength of promoter | CFU on LB plate |
pBBR1-km-amp-cm-nic | none | >200 |
pBBR1-km-amp-cm-promoter4-nic | normal | 5 |
pBBR1-km-amp-cm-promoter5-nic | weak | 5 |
pBBR1-km-amp-cm-promoter11-nic | strong | 1 |
In order to test if our plasmids really work in
We used SDS-PAGE, to demonstrate the expression of NicA2 (52.5 kDa). In the picture,we can see the clear expression of NicA2 in
As for transcription, we are going to use real-time PCR to compare the ability ofinitiating transcription of three promoters.
In addition, we are comparing the degradation efficiency by HPLC. NicA2 in can convert nicotine to pseudo-oxidation in a whole-cell reaction, and the rest of the gene cluster will convert pseudo-oxidation to 2,5-DHP.However, due to time limitation, we were unable to complete the last two experiments, but we will do a supplementary explanation in our presentation. Please stay tuned.
