INPNC:
Ice-nucleation protein (INP) from Pseudomonas Syringae was
suggested to be used for display of foreign proteins on the surface of E.coli(7).Furthermore,
researches have shown that an INP derivative constituting the N-and
C-terminal
domains can and has been used to display foreign proteins on the
surface of E.coli(9).
Note:
A study has shown that "Ice- nucleation Protein (INP), an outer
membrane
protein from Pseudomonas syringae, is able to catalyze the ice crystal
formation of supercooled water.In
our project we are intending to harness and make use of this feature by
fusing
a specific protein to it. We have modified this protein to Biobrick
standard, Tom Knights Standard.
OmpA:
OmpA is one of the proteins on the outer membrane of E.coli
(13). OmpA has been found to be useful as utilizable fusion part that
can fuse
our protein to and display on the surface of E.coli. This part
has
already been documented on the parts registry; however, it has not been
tested
via fusion with a target protein linked with a cleavable signal
sequence.
We
have modified this protein to Biobrick standard, Tom Knights
Standard.
Note:
“It has
remained essentially unknown how proteins of Escherichia coli outer
membrane
are sorted and incorporated into this membrane” (10)

More can be found in:
LacI:
One inducible Promoter which was found in the part registry.
More can be found in: http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_R0010
SS:
This signal sequence, when placed between INPNC, contains a
cleavable site that allows the target fusion protein to ‘secrete’ from
INPNC. We will do the same with OmpA.
We
have modified this protein to Biobrick standard, Tom Knights
Standard.
6-His
Tag:
The 6-Histidine Tag serves as a tag for Western Blotting if our
fluorescent reporters are not expressed as highly as we would like.
Note:
We are using this tag, just in case if the GFP or Luciferase
does not work under a plate reader.
ChvI
promoter:
Gene fusion studies confirmed that ChvI gene was induced by
acidic conditions (1). Also, it has been known to implicate in
virulence (1).
This gene is one of the candidates to be use in our biological pH
sensor as a
promoter.
KatA promoter
:This
Chromosomal gene is located on the linear chromosome (2) and it seems
to be
induced under an acidic environment as well as being involved in the Agrobacterium
tumorigenesis (2).Research has suggested that ChvG is needed for
"responsiveness of gene expression to low pH "(2). This gene
has become a candidate to complete our pH sensor device from this
evidence.
AopB
promoter:
This Chromosomal gene located on the circular chromosome (2)
encodes an outer member protein exposed on the bacterial cell surface
(2).
Also, ChvG was shown to be absolutely required for this gene expression
(2)It
seems to get induced under an acidic environment as well as being
involved in
the Agrobacterium tumorigenesis (2). Therefore, we
have chosen
this gene to be one of our candidates to complete our pH sensor device.
