Overview

E. coli will be transformed with overexpression plasmids containing three genes expressing azoreductase enzymes in order to create an azo-dye decolourising and detoxifying organism with potential applications on an industrial scale. Further transformation of E. coli with laccase and lignin peroxidase to oxidize the aromatic products of azo-dye reduction by azoreductase will reduce the toxicity levels down to the point below the initial toxicity of the intact dye.

BioBrick and Primer Design

Azoreductase enzymes will be cloned from Bacilus subtilis (strain 168) and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (PA01) using DNA PCR amplification.

Suitable forward and reverse primers were designed for each enzymes using the following strategy.

The protein coding sequences for each enzyme were obtained from ?.

The forward primer for the B. subtilis AzoR gene consists of the first 19 nucleotide of the protein coding sequence.

iGM SUBF4 : 5’-ATGTCTACAGTTTTATTTG-3’

The reverse primer for the B. subtilis AzoR gene consists of the last 19 nucleotide of the protein coding sequence.

iGM REVSUB:5’-TTAGAATTTTGCAGCAAGA-3’


The forward primer for the P. aeruginosa AzoR gene consists of the first 17 nucleotide of the protein coding sequence.

iGM AER4 : 5’ATGAGTAGAATTCTTGC-3’

The reverse primer for the P. aeruginosa AzoR gene consists of the last 18 nucleotide of the protein coding sequence.

iGM REV AER :5’-TCAGGCCGACCGCGCCAG-3’

The BioBrick prefix for protein coding sequences and suffix sequences used in Standard Assembly and belonging to BioBrick RFC 10 were appended to the forward and reverse primers respectively.

BioBrick CDS Prefix

5' GAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAG '3

BioBrick Suffix

5' TACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAG '3

The full primer sequences for B. subtilis AzoR and P. aeruginosa AzoR are therefore
