The development of programmable regulators that precisely and predictably control gene expression is a major goal of synthetic biology. Consequently, rapid high-throughput biochemical methods capable of quantitatively analyzing all components of gene expression would be of value in the characterization and optimization of regulator performance. In this study we demonstrate a novel application of RNA arrays, involving the production of reporter-protein arrays, to gene expression analysis. This method enables simultaneous quantification of both the transcription and post-transcription/translation components of gene expression, and it also allows the assessment of the orthogonality of multiple regulators. We use our method to directly compare the performance of a series of previously characterized synthetic post-transcriptional riboregulators, thus demonstrating its utility in the development of synthetic regulatory modules and evaluation of gene expression regulation in general.
