Design Notes

The coding sequences of MomL and Del-MomL were connected to LacO/LacI (BBa_K1624002, BBa_K3257045) and pT7 (BBa_K4609008). IPTG was used to induce protein expression, simulating quorum sensing-induced protein expression to verify the function efficiency of the MomL. LacO/LacI are commonly found in the pET plasmids. IPTG (isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) is a molecular analogue of allolactose and has the same function as allolactose. Both can act as inducers and bind to the repressor in the Lac operon, thereby preventing LacI from binding to LacO upstream of pT7 and ultimately initiating the expression of MomL. MomL crude extract was collected and used to treat E.coli DH5α(with p15A-lux-sfGFP). Without MomL, the LuxR secreted by J23100 in plasmid p15A (BBa_C0062) interacts with AHLs and initiates LuxP, expressing the green fluorescent protein sfGFP to emit fluorescence. When MomL exists, MomL degrades AHLs, LuxP cannot turn on the expression of sfGFP, and the green fluorescence weakens.
