ABSTRACT
Synechococcus elongatus PCC 11801 is a fast-growing cyanobacterium, exhibiting high tolerance to environmental stresses. We have earlier characterized its genome and analysed its transcriptome and proteome. However, to deploy it as a potential cell factory, it is necessary to expand its synthetic biology toolbox, including promoter elements and ribosome binding sites (RBSs). Here, based on the global transcriptome analysis, 48 native promoters of the genes with high transcript count were characterized using a fluorescent reporter system. The promoters PcpcB, PpsbA1, and P11770 exhibited consistently high fluorescence under all the cultivation conditions. Similarly, from the genome data and proteome analysis, 534 operons were identified. Fifteen intergenic regions exhibiting higher protein expression from the downstream gene were systematically characterized for identifying RBSs, using an operon construct comprising fluorescent protein genes eyfp and mTurq under PcpcB (PcpcBeyfpRBSmTurqTrrnB). Overall, the work presents promoter and RBS sequence libraries, with varying strengths, to expedite bioengineering of PCC 11801.
