The validation of the repression of the protein CymR on the T5 cumate operator was verified through the creation of a plasmid containing a single copy of CYM R  and the T5 cumate operator upstream the a GFP (I13504). We saw that the expression of the GFP was completely repressed in absence of p-cumate but it was active in presence of p-cumate.

As we test that a single copy of CYM R in the plasmid can repress strictly the T5 cumate operator the next step is two integrate in the genome of the bacteria first a single copy of CYM R then the double copy. If this integration is verified we can have together with the T5 operator and the toxin a simple and efficient system for the control of bacteria proliferation  and for the elimination of the horizontal transfer.

Description

This composite produces constitutively the CymR regulator protein, that binds the Cumate Operator repressing the transcription from the promoter.


Assembly

The CymR gene was obtained by synthesis and then was assembled with other BioBricks.



Results

CymR expression was confirmed by Western Blot analysis. Our CymR has a SV5 tag at the C-terminus in order to be detected by an anti-SV5 Ab. Its functionality was confirmed through the repression of T5 Cumate Operator-GFP.

The validation of the repression of the protein CymR on the T5 cumate operator was verified through the creation of a plasmid containing a single copy of CymR and the T5 cumate operator upstream the GFP (I13504). We saw that the expression of the GFP was completely repressed in absence of p-cumate but it was active in presence of p-cumate.

Cuminaldehyde activation of cumate switch

We also tested the activity of the cuminaldehyde in the regulation of the cumate switch and we confirmed that it is able to activate the cumate switch, although in higher concentrations.



Cuminaldehyde test. We streaked the E.coli containing the plasmid with J23100-CymR-B0015+T5CumateOperator-I13504(GFP) on LB agar plates at different concentration of cuminaldehyde.





Looking forward

The next step will be the integration of two copies of CymR in the bacterial genome in order to regulate the toxin genes carried by the plasmid.
