AiiA Receiver

Design

オートインデューサー不活性化酵素であるAiiAをレシーバー菌で発現させることにより、レシーバー菌内でのAHL濃度の増加が遅くなるため、AiiAを発現しないレシーバー菌に比べて、GFP発現が遅くなる。(小林)

Method

  1. Transformed Sender into E.coli strains(BWΔFliC) and Receivers into E.coli strain(BWΔFliC).
  2. Inoculated them independently in liquid media. Incubated at 37c° 12h.
  3. Inoculated again at 37c° upto about OD600=2.0
  4. Washed them.
  5. Mixed them (Sender:Receiver=1000μl:1000μl).
  6. Incubated at 30°C.
  7. Measured intensity of green fluorescence at regular time intervals.

Fig.Time Delay Test

24時間後の蛍光強度を比較すると最大強度は1/4に下がっている。

transfer curveがシグモイドではなく、時間に比例するようになった

AiiAを発現させると、GFPの発現自体が極端に減ってしまったので、AHL自体を減らしてしまうと発現量の最大値が小さくなってしまう。
