ChimeriQ - Results
Overview
As the goal of our project was to create chimeric flagella, the majority of our results were based around the creation of flagella with various inserts. In order to do so, we needed to make a mechanism by which we could easily create this chimeric primers. In doing so, we were able to create the part K781000 . This is the complete flagellin coding sequence with biobrick standard cut sites removed, under the promoter R0010 and RBS B0034. This part can be used to over express the flagellin monomer. PCR overlap extension will make an insertion at the annotated site, given that the insert is in the appropriate format. The resulting chimera will express protein immediately after the PCR reaction is transformed.
Fluorescence
The majority of our results fell under this section of our work as we were able to create both the RFP-FliC Insertion and deletion chimeras. These parts were successfully characterized and determined to show expression of the red fluorescent protein from J04500. As can be seen below, there appears to be less detectable fluorescence in cell cultures expressing the different types of chimeras. This result can be expected for a number of possible reasons.
Catalysis
Our work with catalysis mainly involved working with three enzymes: LinB, Rv2579, and XylE. Using K781000, we were able to create three parts: BBa_K781005 , BBa_K781004 , and BBa_K781007 . Based on the images below, it appears as if we were able to incorporate these enzymes into the bacteria, but more research much be done in order to characterize the enzyme activity.
