Cell Death
BioBricks
FIGUUR
Components
The luxR protein BBa_C0062 is placed under control of the constitutive promoter BBa_J23100. The ccdB suicide gene BBa_P1010, on its part, is placed under control of the LuxpR promoter BBa_R0062.
Action
When the concentration HSL is big enough (see the modeling page), it will form a complex with the LuxR protein and thus activate the LuxpR promoter. This results in ccdB production and eventually cell death (reference).
