Practical

We will meet at 11 o'clock in room 00.210

results

Testing the system

INPUT:

  • In order to use INPUT, use/test part 1 of 'Cell Death' (luxR, TetR under constitutive promotor).
  • Test input-output as such (= test OmpR promotor etc), i.e. test the input with the output.


OUTPUT:

  • Compare GFP-LVA with normal GFP.
  • You will need input to switch production of reporter on/off.


MEMORY:

  • Until 2nd terminator set, change c2 P22 to GFP.
  • anti-LuxI --> quantitate with Q-RT-PCR (compare with LuxI expression INVERTER).


T7 (with LVA tag):

  • Either with Antibodies (Western blot of ...), or
  • Build p(T7)-GFP.


FILTER:

  • Build filter + p(T7)-lock3d-GFP.
  • You will need input.
  • Characterize filter with short pulses (input).


INVERTER:

  • Build inverter.
  • You will need input + filter.
  • Q-RT-PCR of LuxI.


PULSE GENERATOR:

  • Replace aiiA --> GFP.


CELL DEATH:

  • Entire system with YFP,GFP,... instead of ccdB.


Modeling

We studied the (sub)components of CellDesigner.

Plugin SBML Squeezer was installed to automatically generate ODEs.

We started our quest for kinetic parameters (we made a collection at our Modeling page):

  • Degradation of T7 with LVA tag was obtained by the interpolation of the influence of LVA on the degradation of GFP. We presume that this is valuable for every protein, including T7 polymerase.
