2-4-2 Pheat assay
Contents
1. Introduction
We tested that the expression level of cold-inducible promoter (Pcold: BBa_K1949000) that controls the story. What happens if this story is set in a warm country? We tested that the expression level of temperature sensitive promoter (Pheat: BBa_K608351), which is high temperature inducible promoter.
2. Summary of the Experiment
Our objective is to characterize temperature dependency of Pheat at 28°C and 37°C with positive control and negative control. We prepared three samples shown below. After temperature induction, we measured the fluorescence intensity at regular time intervals.
・Pheat - rbs - gfp (pSB1C3)
・Positive Cntrol : Pcon - rbs - gfp (pSB1C3)
・Negative Control : empty vector (pSB1C3)
3. Results
The fluorescence intensity of each sample is measured at 28°C and 37°C. The results are shown below.
Fig. 3-5-1- title
This graph shows the fluorescence intensity per cells every 1 h for 3 h that after temperature induction. The error bar represents the standard deviation of two samples which derived from two different colonies, respectively.
The fluorescence intensity of GFP induced by the promoter is calculated by subtracted the fluorescence intensity of negative control at each temperature from the fluorescence intensities of Pheat-rbs-gfp and Pcon-rbs-gfp. It is confirmed that GFP expression can be expressed when cultivating at 37°C but not at 28°C. Therefore, it is concluded that Pheat is a high temperature inducible promoter.
4. Discussion
GFP is not induced of Pheat-rbs -gfp under low temperature and is induced under high temprature. This result is consistent with reference [1]. Therefore this experiment results is considered reasonable.
5. Materials and Methods
5-1. Construction
-Strain
All the sample were BL21(DE3) strain
-Plasmids
-Pheat - rbs - gfp (pSB1C3)
-Positive Control: Pcon - rbs - gfp (pSB1C3)
-Negative Control: empty vector (pSB1C3)
5-2. Assay Protocol
1. Prepare overnight cultures for each sample in 3 mL LB medium containing chloramphenicol (34 microg / mL) at 28°C for 12 h.
2. Dilute the overnight cultures in 3 mL fresh LB medium containing chloramphenicol (34 microg/mL) so that the turbidity becomes around 0.005 in triplicate (fresh culture).
3. Incubate the triplicated fresh cultures each at 28℃ so that the turbidity reaches 0.03 to 0.04.
4. Incubate the triplicated fresh cultures for each sample at 28ºC and 37ºC for 3 h.
5. Measure the turbidity and the RFU of GFP.
