Output

We have been searching for an easy accessible output system, that could provide us qualitative and quantitative information in a quick and easy way. The choice for GFP was easily made.

Components

A GFP with a C-terminal LVA tag for rapid degradation of the protein (Anderson et al, 1998), was chosen so that we can follow the output signal quickly in time. The OmpF promoter (BBa_R0084) behaves as described in the input section. For fine-tuning reasons, the RBS was chosen BBa_B0032 with a relative efficiency of 0,3.

Action

This is a very easy system. As the input results in a low concentration of phosphorylated OmpR, there is GFP production, proportional to the input signal.
