Pbad/AraC RBS LacI
Pbad/AraC-RBS-LacI[LVA(-)]
Used as part of the simple delay mechanism for bWARE suicide mechanism. When arabinose is no longer present, LacI will no longer be present to repress another plasmid that expresses a restriction enzyme under Plac.
Characterization of K914014 the complete delay system.
We characterized the behavior of our transcriptional circuit by first growing cells in the presence of 1% arabinose induction. In this state, LacI expression is highly induced. The cells were then washed, diluted, and characterized in the presence of arabinose, IPTG, or no induction.
The phase between the 'uninduced' and 'IPTG' curves is the delay from dilution of LacI. After removal of arabinose, LacI remains within the cells but soon becomes inefficient at inhibiting GFP expression as the cells divide. The delay is characterized by also adding IPTG to the system, which activates GFP expression despite presence of LacI.
