          <p>Ionizing radiation activates the SOS repair system of bacteria through DNA damage. The single-strand DNA breaks leads to the activation of protein RecA, which leads to proteolysis of the repressor protein LexA, resulting in the increased transcription of about 20 genes, including <i>recA</i> and <i>recN</i> (Fig.1). Therefore, <i>recAp</i> and <i>recNp</i> are radiation-inducible and can be utilized to control gene expression induced by ionizing radiation. </p>
 +
          <br/>
 +
            <p>The rotational direction of bacteria is controlled by the flagellar motor system, of which CheY plays a pivotal role. When CheY is phosphorylated (CheY-P), it binds to the flagellar switch protein FliM and induces the flagellum to rotate clockwise, which causes the cell to tumble. Smooth swimming is restored by the phosphatase CheZ, which dephosphorylates CheY-P and causes the flagellum to rotate counterclockwise (Fig.2). E.coli lacking the <i>cheZ</i> gene (<i>∆cheZ</i>, strain RP1616, non-motile) cannot dephosphorylate CheY-P, tumble incessantly, and are thus nonmotile. So, if we controls the expression of <i>cheZ</i> in strain RP1616, it's possible to control the migration of bacteria.</p>
 +
            <br />
 +
            <p>Accordingly, in order to construct bacteria that move directionally towards ionizing radiation, we can place gene <i>cheZ</i> in the downstream of <i>recAp</i>. </p>

Protein CheZ is a phosphatase which interacts with various substrate including CheY. When CheY is phosphorylated, it binds to protein FliM and the flagella rotates clockwise, causing bacteria to tumble.

      <p>We tested the expression of <i>cheZ</i> on protein level. Within the inducement of 0.1 mM IPTG at 18℃ for 18h, we extracted the total proteins of the <i>E.coli</i> transformed with plasmid CheZ-pET28a (Fig.1). Western Blot results showed that the expression of protein CheZ significantly increased after the inducement, indicating that <i>cheZ</i> expressed well (Fig.2).

Background


Ionizing radiation activates the SOS repair system of bacteria through DNA damage. The single-strand DNA breaks leads to the activation of protein RecA, which leads to proteolysis of the repressor protein LexA, resulting in the increased transcription of about 20 genes, including recA and recN (Fig.1). Therefore, recAp and recNp are radiation-inducible and can be utilized to control gene expression induced by ionizing radiation.


The rotational direction of bacteria is controlled by the flagellar motor system, of which CheY plays a pivotal role. When CheY is phosphorylated (CheY-P), it binds to the flagellar switch protein FliM and induces the flagellum to rotate clockwise, which causes the cell to tumble. Smooth swimming is restored by the phosphatase CheZ, which dephosphorylates CheY-P and causes the flagellum to rotate counterclockwise (Fig.2). E.coli lacking the cheZ gene (∆cheZ, strain RP1616, non-motile) cannot dephosphorylate CheY-P, tumble incessantly, and are thus nonmotile. So, if we controls the expression of cheZ in strain RP1616, it's possible to control the migration of bacteria.


Accordingly, in order to construct bacteria that move directionally towards ionizing radiation, we can place gene cheZ in the downstream of recAp.


Modules


We tested the expression of cheZ on protein level. Within the inducement of 0.1 mM IPTG at 18℃ for 18h, we extracted the total proteins of the E.coli transformed with plasmid CheZ-pET28a (Fig.1). Western Blot results showed that the expression of protein CheZ significantly increased after the inducement, indicating that cheZ expressed well (Fig.2). Additionally, sicne a basal expression caused by lacp in pET28a, the control group also showed a low expression of CheZ.

Function


We planned to test the function of gene cheZ in bacterial migration towards ionizing radiation. Because of limited conditions, we replaced ionizing radiation with UV radiation, which has the same effect of DNA damage to activate the SOS repair system. The ∆cheZ E.coli strain RP1616 was transformed with plasmid RecA-CheZ-pET28a (Fig.1) (RP1616(RecA-CheZ-pET28a)) whose original T7p was digested by restriction endonuclease.


After exposing to certain intensities (which couldn't be measured for a lack of apposite apparatus but could merely be described roughly) of UV radiation, we observed the behavior of both wild-type (RP437, motile) and ∆cheZ (RP1616) with RecA-CheZ-pET28a. The results indicate that RP1616(RecA-CheZ-pET28a) moves directionally towards higher UV intensity (Fig.2, 3& 4).
