Experiments

Expressing Miraculin in S. cerevisiae

The BioBrick encoding the Miraculin protein coding sequence will be synthesized and ligated into a pSB1C3 plasmid prior to submission to the iGEM registry. Once this part has been synthesized, we aim to use the SureVector expression kit to create a plasmid capable of expressing the Miraculin protein. In order to achieve this we will need to PCR amplify the coding sequence from the pSB1C3 plasmid to create a sequence containing the required SureVector overlap sequences. This DNA fragment can then be used as our gene of interest during SureVector assembly. The assembled plasmid will also contain a yeast autonomous replication sequence (yARS) as well as a LEU2 auxotrophic marker to allow for expression in Leucine deficient strains of S. cerevisiae. Expression of the gene will be regulated through the use of the S. cerevisiae X-Gal Galactose inducible promoter provided with the SureVector kit. The SureVector expression plasmid also contains a His-tagging sequence that we can use to characterise Miraclin expression once a yeast strain has be transformed with the plasmid.
