Motivation
- E. coli is a bacterium that commonly lives in the intestines of people and animals.
Goal
- When genetic E.coli senses the alternation of pH in intestine, the adhesion mechanism will be turned on in order to enhance the ability of attachment.
- The enhanced adhesion will make a chance for genetic E.coli to have more time to do things that has been designed by the "Clearance of Urea, Phosphate, and Guanidine" groups.
- To cooperate with the "Time Regulation" group to allow the genetic E.coli to detach from intestinal epithelia cells after a specified amount of time.
How to attach in intestine
- We have two strategies to enhance attachment in intestine: Expression of membrane form of FimH and FliC.
- We will use the biobrick part!
- BBa_J04500. a composite part of a lac promoter (R0010) and a strong ribosome binding site (B0034).
- BBa_J36835. Lpp, the lipoprotein signal peptide.
- BBa_J36837 or BBa_J36838. OmpA, one (O1) or five (O5) transmembrane domains, respectively. Both have been shown to work (Earhart, 2000).
- BBa_J36841 or BBa_J36843. Streptavidin, either wild-type "SW" (Howarth, 2006), or single-chain dimeric "SD" (Aslan, 2005).
