Components

The luxR protein BBa_C0062 is placed under control of a P22 CII hybrid promoter BBa_145150. The ccdB suicide gene BBa_P1010, on its part, is placed under control of the LuxpR promoter BBa_R0062.

Action

When the concentration of HSL is big enough (see the modeling page), HSL will form a complex with the LuxR protein and thus activate the LuxpR promoter. This results in ccdB production and eventually in cell death (reference).
