Version 2 :

LuxR is AHL-dependent activator.LuxR-AHL complex binds lux box, 20-bp sequence centered at position -42.5 from starting site and activates transcription.However lux box is inserted between -35 and -10,LuxR functions as AHL-inverter (Plux inv). Plux inv is resistered in Biobrick number R0061.We've prepared Plux inv-GFP and characterized about it.

Experiments

1.Construction Plux inv-GFP

Construction process is shown in Fig. 1.We constructed Plux inv-GFP conbining R0061 and E0240 and transformed by strain of XL10-G.

GFP fluorescence and sequence is confirmed.

2.Characterization Plux inv-GFP

strain:DH10B sample 1,Plux inv-GFP and Plac-LuxR
2,Plux inv-GFP (Positive control)
3,Plux inv (Negative control)
add AHL1000 nM (AHL+)and

Each sample incubated for 12 h at 37゜C Spin-dawn and observed the pellet.

Results

細胞のペレット写真をFig. 3に示す。両方のサンプルから蛍光が確認された。

Discussion

We can't confirm LuxR repression.私たちは，LuxRの抑制を確認することができなかった。原因として，私たちの実験レポータ遺伝子 Coxらの論文でもlux box を-35および-10の間に挿入しても，抑制効果がないことが示されている。
