Whole lac-promoter mutagenesis Sort-Seq in E. coli TK310 (500 µM cAMP)

Using deep sequencing to characterize the biophysical mechanism of a transcriptional regulatory sequence

A partially randomized library spanning the complete 75-nt lac-promoter sequence was assayed in the TK310 background with exogenous cAMP. Reporter fluorescence was measured by FACS and sequence-to-bin assignments were recovered by 454 sequencing across five sorted batches (B1-B5).

Perturbation & assay details

1 mM IPTG + 500 µM cAMP induction in Vogel Bonner minimal medium with 0.5% glucose at 37 °C

Low-copy pUA66-lacZ-derived plasmid reporters placed the 75-nt lac-promoter sequence upstream of GFP. The TK310 host carries the reported cAMP-pathway/lacY deletions; cells were sorted into fluorescence bins by FACS and the promoter insert plus a 7-bp batch barcode were identified by 454 sequencing. The compact source data retain sequence-to-bin observations rather than raw sequence reads.

Column dictionary · 28 definitions
element_id
Experiment-local identifier for a unique 75-nt promoter sequence.
sequence
75-nt lac-promoter sequence recovered from the reporter amplicon, in the sequenced orientation.
sequence_length
Sequence length in nucleotides; QC requires 75.
mutation_count
Number of positions differing from the wild-type 75-nt lac-promoter reference.
mutated_positions
Comma-separated promoter coordinates from -75 through -1 that differ from the wild-type reference; empty for no differences.
is_wild_type
True if the sequence exactly equals the wild-type 75-nt reference sequence.
raw_reads_B1
Number of source sequence records assigned to sorted fluorescence batch B1 before within-batch duplicate collapse.
raw_reads_B2
Number of source sequence records assigned to sorted fluorescence batch B2 before within-batch duplicate collapse.
raw_reads_B3
Number of source sequence records assigned to sorted fluorescence batch B3 before within-batch duplicate collapse.
raw_reads_B4
Number of source sequence records assigned to sorted fluorescence batch B4 before within-batch duplicate collapse.
raw_reads_B5
Number of source sequence records assigned to sorted fluorescence batch B5 before within-batch duplicate collapse.
dedup_observation_B1
Binary presence (0/1) after retaining at most one copy of each sequence in sorted batch B1.
dedup_observation_B2
Binary presence (0/1) after retaining at most one copy of each sequence in sorted batch B2.
dedup_observation_B3
Binary presence (0/1) after retaining at most one copy of each sequence in sorted batch B3.
dedup_observation_B4
Binary presence (0/1) after retaining at most one copy of each sequence in sorted batch B4.
dedup_observation_B5
Binary presence (0/1) after retaining at most one copy of each sequence in sorted batch B5.
total_raw_reads
Total source sequence records across B1-B5 before duplicate collapse.
total_deduplicated_observations
Total retained unique sequence-by-bin observations across B1-B5.
within_batch_duplicate_reads
Total source records removed because the same sequence was already observed in that batch.
bins_observed
Comma-separated list of sorted batches in which the sequence was observed after deduplication.
baseline_B0_observed
Binary indicator for an initial-library B0 observation; always 0 because this condition has no B0 file.
sorted_bin_observation_count
Number of retained observations in sorted bins B1-B5.
activity_bin_mean
Mean ordinal fluorescence-bin number across retained sorted-bin observations B1-B5.
activity_bin_median
Median ordinal fluorescence-bin number across retained sorted-bin observations B1-B5.
activity_bin_min
Lowest ordinal fluorescence-bin number observed among B1-B5.
activity_bin_max
Highest ordinal fluorescence-bin number observed among B1-B5.
qc_pass
True for rows passing sequence validity and within-batch duplicate-independence QC.
source_file
Raw-data file from which the sequence/bin observations were taken.

Quality control

The author-filtered sequence/bin files were rechecked for valid batch codes, exactly 75 nt, and only A/C/G/T characters. Repeated observations of the same sequence within a FACS batch were collapsed to one independent sequence-by-bin observation, consistent with the authors' duplicate-sequence QC; all 23,251 resulting unique sequence rows passed these checks. No B0 baseline file is part of this condition; sorted-bin summaries use B1-B5. The table contains 29,810 source records and 23,431 deduplicated sequence-by-bin observations.

Curation notes

This TK310 condition contains five sorted fractions and no B0 baseline in the deposited source. TK310 is represented with an UNMAPPED biosample CURIE because the requested Cell Ontology/Cellosaurus resolution is not available for this strain; the paper describes it as a cAMP-pathway/lacY deletion background. The wild-type sequence used for mutation annotation was resolved from the wt1/wt2 control files.
