Explanation of DNA sequence
First, we use AHL for input and regard injection of AHL as clicking. |
Second, there is a cI operator above gfp DNA sequence. |
Third, there is an AND Gate with T7ptag and supD.
On initial state, bacteria don't have supD.
As written above, when AHL is entered into bacteria, transcription of proteins
After washing AHL(means after 1st click), supD exist.
Moreover, if there is 2nd click, T7ptag is going to be decomposed again. |
Actually, there is a hybrid promoter(cI/T7) above gfp DNA sequence.
It is regulated by T7 and cI which work as activator and repressor, respectively.
On this promoter, repression is stronger than activation.
And also, it is low unregulated activation.
When 1st input is come in, decomposing of cI is started.
But there isn't T7 yet, gfp cannot be generated, despite there isn't repressor.
After 1st input, generation of T7 is stared.
But, gfp cannot be generated, because there is cI already.
When 2nd input is come in within existing of T7, decomposing of cI is started.
This time, T7 exists in bacteria,
so decomposition of cI is finished, gfp is going to be generated.
As a result, bacteria shines with gfp and Double Click is completed.
