Abstract

LuxR is an AHL-dependent activator.LuxR-AHL complex bind lux box,a 20-bp sequence and activate transcription. However the lux box is inserted between -35 and -10 and LuxR functions as LuxR-AHL inverter (Plux inv) .The Plux inv was resistered in Biobrick number R0061.We've constructed Plux inv-GFP combinig R0061and E0240 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.

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.

discussion

私たちの系では，LuxRの抑制を確認することができなかった。
