Table.1 Seisitivity of LuxR mutants. Data modified from Collins et.al. Mol. Microbiol. 55, 712–723 (2005)
Table.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.(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

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)

レシーバータンパク質であるLuxRに変異を入れることで応答感度を上下させる(5),(6)



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。 (小林)

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.
