Characterization
To assess the strength of our GAL4 responsive promoter set (BBa_K1144001, BBa_K1144002, BBa_K1144003 and BBa_K1144004) when induced with Dexamethasone, we performed a fluorometric assay using mCherry as our reporter, using our reporter set of parts (BBa_K1144005, BBa_K1144006, BBa_K1144007 and BBa_K1144008) .Since we don't have our transactivating protein ready yet, we co-transformed our parts into the E. coli DH10B strain with the pAT7002 vector (Aoyama and Chua, 1997), which contains a well characterized Glucocorticoid Responsive Element that also uses the GAL4 DNA binding domain.
We also decided to visually inspect our induced transformants. Here two of the images taken using a epifluorescent microscopy with a TRITC filter.
