Abstract


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.Preparing Plux inv-GFP

1.Construction of Plux inv-GFP

Construction process is shown in Fig. 1.

2.Characterization Plux inv-GFP

Plux inv-GFP およびLuxR generatorである Plac-LuxRをDH10B株に共形質転換した。コロニーをつついてLB液体培地(AHL0および1000 nM)で12 h培養し, スピンダウンしてペレットを観察した。
