Abstract

LuxR is an AHL-dependent activator. However to insert lux box between -35 and -10 and LuxR fuctions as LuxR-AHL inverter. Someone resistered the Plux inverter in Biobrick.We've prepare Plux inv-GFP and characterized about it.

Experiments

1.Preparing Plux inv-GFP

Plasmid:R0061 and E0240
Strain:XL10-G
protocol
Preparing process of Plux inv-GFP is shown in Fig. 1.We transformed preparing Plux inv-GFP in XL10-G and confirmed the expression GFP Fluorescence.The sequence is also conformed.

2.Characterization Plux inv-GFP

Plasmid:Plux inv-GFP and Plac-LuxR (LuxR constitutive generator)
strain:DH10B

protocol
We cotransformded Plux inv-GFP and LuxR Plac-LuxR in DH10B. 1,LBL incubation for12 h at 37゜C. Plux inv-GFPおよびLuxR generatorであるPlac-LuxR (PSB1A3)を共形質転換した。

得られたコロニーをpre cultureしたあと,AHL100 nM(AHL+)およびAHLなしのLB液体培地 (Amp,Kan) に加えた。

37℃で12 時間培養した

sampleをspindawnし,ペレットの蛍光を確認した。

Results

AHLの有無に関わらず蛍光が観察された。
We confirmed GFP Fluorescence both AHL+ and -sample.
