Change Receiver's Copy Number

レシーバーのコピーナンバーを減らすことで、thresholdに達するまでの時間を短縮する。 (小林)

Method

  • High Copy Receiver[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002 BBa_T9002 (AHL Reporter)]

LuxR mutants

Collins et.al. described the hyper-sensitive variants of luxR to AHL.(Collins, C. H., Arnold, F. H. & Leadbetter, J. R. Directed evolution of Vibrio fischeri LuxR for increased sensitivity to a broad spectrum of acyl-homoserine lactones. Mol. Microbiol. 55, 712–723 (2005))

私たちはmutated Receiverを用いることで、AHL感受性の違う2種類(WTと変異体)のレシーバーを用意し、delay-timeのバリエーションを増やした。

Method

  • Sender
    • [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_S03623 (AHL auto inucer)]

  • Receivers
    • mutant LuxR Receiver

    • WT LuxR Receiver ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_S03623 BBa_T9002 ])

LuxR mutantsとWT LuxRのディレイタイムはfollowing procedureによってanalyzeした。

  1. Transformed sender (Ptet-luxI), mutant LuxR Receiver (Ptet-mLuxR-Plux-GFP) and WT LuxR Receiver ()into E coli strains (BW⊿FliC)
  2. Inoculated Sender, WT Receiver (wild type luxR/BW⊿FliC) and mutated Receiver (1point mutation/BW⊿FliC) in liquid media for 12 h at 37℃.
  3. Inoculated again in liquid media upto about OD600=2 at 37℃
  4. Washed Senders and receiver.
  5. Mixed them. (Sender:Receiver=1000μL:1000μL)
  6. Incubated at 30°C.
  7. Measured intensity of green fluorescence at regular time intervals.
