    We got the zinTp sequence from RegulonDB <a title="http://ppt.cc/SS5N" >(1)</a>. Amplification was performed for 40 cycles of denaturation for 30 sec at 94 °C, annealing for 1 min at 59 °C and polymerization for 1 min at 68 °C. A PCR product containing the zinTp was cloned into plasmid psb1c3. The plasmid we used was got from iGEM 2012 distribution kit. The resulting plasmid was transformed into E. coli DH5αcompetent cells.

We ligated the zinTp with GFP generator(BBa_E0840) and tested the function of zinTp. The transgenic E.coli contains zinTp+GFP, which should fluoresce when Cd2+ exist. We added different concentration of cadmium ion into LB medium and compared the fluorescence level of E.coli which contain zinTp+GFP, pTetR+GFP (BBa_I13522), and psb1c3 backbone only(wildtype control). </p>

</strong>We cloned the smtA gene into the plasmid Ptrc-PNSII-Strep.  This plasmid includes a promoter Ptrc.

Conclusion & References

  1. We have successfully cloned zinTp into pSB1C3
  2. We have successfully cloned zinTp-GFP into pSB1C3
  3. We have characterized zinTp function. The expression of downstream gene will increase when added cadmium ion into LB medium, and the maximum transcription rate occurs around 60 min after added 200μM cadmium.
  4. We have successfully cloned mnt into pSB1C3
  5. We have successfully cloned smtA into pSB1C3
  6. We have characterized smtA function. When expressing smtA, it enhances E.coli tolerance to cadmium.
