Signal molecule sender
Design
Each species has their own LuxI-type proteins,which synthesize their specific autoinducers,AHLs.AHLs produced by different LuxI-type proteins differ only in the length of the acyl-chain moiety and substitution at position C-3.LuxR,which is original for Vibrio fischeri,is activated by its cognate autoinducer,3OC6HSL.However,LuxR is also activated by non-endogenous molecules,C4HSL,C6HSL,and 3OC12HSL.Activation by non-endogenous molecules requires a higher signal concentration(2).This results in slower activation of receivers,when AHL concentration is increasing.
Experiment
To Confirm that communication using non-endogenous molecules results in slower activation of receivers.

Senders

- [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K084008 plac+rbs+RhlI]

Receiver
- [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_T9002 BBa_T9002 (Express GFP in response to AHL)]
Method
1.Crosstalk test
To characterize quorum sensing crosstalk, constitutive AHL senders were mixed with constitutive receivers and measure fluorescence intensity.
- Transformed Senders into E.coli strains(XL10GOLD) and Receiver into E.coli strain(JW1908).
- Inoculated them independently in liquid media. Incubated at 37°C 12h
- Mixed them.
- Incubated at 30°C.
- Measured intensity of green fluorescence at regular time intervals.
Result
Crosstalk test
- 軸ラベル、直します。
- RhlIとLuxIでは、GFP inductionにかかる時間はほとんど同じであった.
- LasIは、GFP inductionが他より約2時間遅れた.
