LuxR mutant (Under Planning)

Design

Fig.4.1 LuxR mutant
Fig.4.2 Seisitivity of LuxR mutants. Data modified from Collins et.al. Mol. Microbiol. 55, 712–723 (2005)
Fig.4.3 Ahl activation of mutagenized LuxR molecules. Data modfied from B.Kock et al. Microbiology (2005), 151, 3589-3602

Collins et.al. described the hyper-sensitive variants of luxR to AHL.(1) CollonsらとKockらによって、LuxRに変異を入れることでLuxRのAHLに対する感受性を変えることができると報告されている。(1),(2)

  1. Ile45PheとするとAHLに対する感受性が約10倍上昇する(1)
  2. Leu42AlaとするとAHLに対する感受性が1/15に減少する(2)
  3. Leu42SerとするとAHLに対する感受性が1/1000に減少する(2)


Experiment

Sender; LuxI plasmid transformed into E.coli strains (JW1908)

Receiver; LuxR-gfp plasmid transformed into E.coli strains (JW1908)

Culture/ Cndn.

  1. Both Sender and Receiver (+/- Mutation) were inoculated into small (2mL) culture and was shaken separately for 12h (at 37C)
  2. Inoculated into flesh media, shaken until cell density hit 2.0 in OD600
  3. Washed the cell and re-suspended. Cell density checked.
  4. Mixed Sender and Receiver (Sender/Receiver 1000μl/1000μl).
  5. Incubated at 30°C.
  6. Time-chased the fluorescence (485nm(excitation) and 527nm(emission)) by gfp.
