xylE reporter gene with rbs
2006-10-16T11:00:00Z
2015-08-31T04:08:46Z
The template DNA was kindly supplied by Dr. Peter Williams of the University of Wales, Bangor. The primer design was based on Genbank sequence M64747 (GI:151718). The sequence reported here was confirmed by sequencing the Biobrick construct.

This part includes the xylE gene from the Pseudomonas putida TOL (naphthalene and xylene degradadative plasmid) pWW0. This gene encodes the enzyme catechol-2,3-dioxygenase (metapyrocatechase), which converts catechol to the bright yellow product 2-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconic semialdehyde. This is a useful reporter gene; colonies or broths expressing active XylE, in the presence of oxygen, will rapidly convert catechol, a cheap colourless substrate, to a bright yellow compound with an absorbance maximum around 377 nm. The part includes the native ribosome binding site, so simply needs to be added after a suitable promoter to act as a reporter. I have previously used this gene to generate whole cell biosensors for various heavy metals. Note that, unlike Xgal etc., catechol in solution is prone to spontaneous oxidation resulting in brown melanin-like polymeric products, so is not stable enough to incorporate into plates or growth media; it should be dripped onto colonies (I use 10 mM catechol in water for this) or added to liquid cultures at a final concentration of about 0.5 mM prior to assay. Note also that there is a SacI site at the very start of the part, when the prefix is included, so this can be used as a replacement vector to introduce PCR products with SacI-SpeI ends into pSB1A2 giving them full Biobrick prefixes and suffixes (but don't forget the G base before the SpeI site). This results in shorter non-complementary tails on PCR primers than using a full prefix or suffix. You can test for colonies that have lost xylE using catechol as described above.

The template DNA for ''xylE'' was kindly supplied by Dr. Peter Williams of the University of Wales, Bangor.
pCstA is from ''Escherichia coli'' JM109 genomic DNA.
Released HQ 2013
''xylE'' is from the ''Pseudomonas putida'' TOL (naphthalene and xylene degradadative plasmid) pWW0. This gene encodes the enzyme catechol-2,3-dioxygenase (metapyrocatechase), which converts catechol to the bright yellow product 2-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconic semialdehyde. This is a useful reporter gene; colonies or broths expressing active XylE, in the presence of oxygen, will rapidly convert catechol, a cheap colourless substrate, to a bright yellow compound with an absorbance maximum around 377 nm. The part includes the native ribosome binding site, so simply has been added to the glucose-repressible promoter of ''cstA''. This allows for characterisation of pCstA over a range of glucose concentrations.

''Eschaerichia coli'' JM109 genomic DNA
Released HQ 2013
This is the promoter for the ''Eschaerichia coli'' JM109 ''cstA'' gene. It includes the CRP-binding site and the RNA polymerase-binding site. Low glucose concentration results in increased activity by adenylate cyclase. cAMP binds to the cAMP receptor protein, which, in its bound form, is able to associate with the promoter and promote transcription of the downstream gene. (''cstA'' encodes the carbon starvation protein.)
