Engineering magnetosomes to express novel proteins Which ones? Must be suitable for expressing in Magnetospyrillum! Can’t rely on glycosylation, disulphide bonds, lipidation, selective proteolysis, etc for function! Best bets are bacterial proteins Alternatives are eukaryotic proteins that don’t need any of the above Short peptides Tweaking p18 Linker Deleting or replacing GFP TRZN Oxalate decarboxylases Lactate dehydrogenase or other oxalate metab enzyme

DNA replication Proteins replicating both strands are in replisome Attached to membrane & feed DNA through it lagging strand loops out so make both strands in same direction

Eg Trp operator

Prok gene regulation 5 genes (trp operon) encode trp enzymes

Prok gene regulation Copy genes when no trp Repressor stops operon if [trp]

Prok gene regulation Repressor stops operon if [trp] trp allosterically regulates repressor can't bind operator until 2 trp bind

lac operon Some operons use combined “on” & “off” switches E.g. E. coli lac operon Encodes enzymes to use lactose lac Z =  -galactosidase lac Y= lactose permease lac A = transacetylase

lac operon Make these enzymes only if: 1) - glucose

lac operon Make these enzymes only if: 1) - glucose 2) + lactose

lac operon Regulated by 2 proteins 1) CAP protein : senses [glucose]

lac operon Regulated by 2 proteins 1)CAP protein : senses [glucose] 2)lac repressor: senses [lactose]

lac operon Regulated by 2 proteins 1)CAP protein : senses [glucose] 2)lac repressor: senses [lactose] encoded by lac i gene Always on

lac operon 2 proteins = 2 binding sites 1) CAP site: promoter isn’t active until CAP binds

lac operon 2 proteins = 2 binding sites 1)CAP site: promoter isn’t active until CAP binds 2)Operator: repressor blocks transcription

lac operon Regulated by 2 proteins 1) CAP only binds if no glucose -> no activation

lac operon Regulated by 2 proteins 1) CAP only binds if no glucose -> no activation 2) Repressor blocks transcription if no lactose

lac operon Regulated by 2 proteins 1) CAP only binds if no glucose 2) Repressor blocks transcription if no lactose 3) Result: only make enzymes for using lactose if lactose is present and glucose is not

Result [  -galactosidase] rapidly rises if no glucose & lactose is present W/in 10 minutes is 6% of total protein!

RNA polymerase I promoter is 5' to "coding sequence" 2 elements 1) essential core includes transcription start site UCE -100 core +1 coding sequence

RNA polymerase I promoter is 5' to "coding sequence" 2 elements 1) essential core includes transcription start site 2) UCE (Upstream Control Element) at ~ -100 stimulates transcription x UCE -100 core +1 coding sequence

Initiation of transcription by Pol I Order of events was determined by in vitro reconstitution 1) UBF (upstream binding factor) binds UCE and core element UBF is a transcription factor: DNA-binding proteins which recruit polymerases and tell them where to begin

I nitiation of transcription by Pol I 1) UBF binds UCE and core element 2) SL1 (selectivity factor 1) binds UBF (not DNA) SL1 is a coactivator proteins which bind transcription factors and stimulate transcription
