Design Notes

Design: The part was the sensor of the pathogen detector. LuxR was constitutively expressed. When sensing AHL, LuxR will bind to the Lux promoter and thus activated the downstream TetR with VP16. Mated with reporter yeast (BBa_K1024005), the TetR with VP16 will bind to the Tet operator and activated the downstream gene.
