Plux-LasI

We constructed this part by combining BBa_R0062 and BBa_K081016. This part produces LasI enzyme in the presence of LuxR-3OC6HSL complex.

Fig. 1 This work was done by Mai Miura, Xinran Tao and Shiyue Liu.

To characterize Plux-LasI (BBa_K934022), we introduced Plux-LasI pSB3K3 with Ptet-LuxR (BBa_S03119) on pSB6A1 to E.coli as “3OC6HSL dependent 3OC12HSL producer cell”. In this E.coli, constitutively expressed LuxR activates the expression of LasI in the presence of 3OC6HSL. We then introduced Ptrc-LasR and Plas-GFP (BBa_K649001) to E.coli as a “Las reporter cell”.

The supernatants of the cultures of Plux-LasI cell were used as the inducer in the reporter assay.

Fig. 2

Fig. 1 shows fluorescence intensities by Las reporter cells dependent on different conditions. Only when the supernatant of condition B was used, the fluorescence intensity of the Las reporter cell increased, while the supernatants of other three conditions did not affect. Comparing the results of the condition A and B, it can be said that with the induction of 3OC6HSL to Plux-LasI cell, the fluorescence intensity of the Las reporter cell increased by 20-folds. This result indicates that Plux-LasI cell produced 3OC12HSL in response to 3OC6HSL induction by the function of Plux-LasI (BBa_934022).From this experiment, we confirmed that a new part Plux-LasI (BBa_K934022) worked accurately.

By using Plux-LasI (BBa_K934022), we also accomplished a positive feedback system with our improved part Plux-LasI(BBa_K934012).

Fig. 3 This work was done by Mai Miura.

As compared red solid line with blue dotted line in the condition i (both Plux-LasI cell and Plas-LuxI cell coexist), the Fig. 3 shows that the fluorescence intensity of Las reporter increases at first (0-1h), and then that of Lux reporter starts to increase (1-2h). This result indicates that the 3OC12HSL production in Plux-LasI cell was activated by initially added 3OC6HSL, whereas the 3OC6HSL production in Plas-LuxI cell was not activated till 3OC12HSL production in Plux-LasI cell reached sufficient level. This behavior strongly suggests the appearance of the positive feedback.

-In the presence of 3OC12HSL produced by “3OC6HSL dependent 3OC12HSL producer cell”, “Las reporter cell” was activated and GFP was expressed. Thus, the expression of GFP in “Las reporter cell” is dually regulated by 3OC12HSL produced by “3OC6HSL dependent 3OC12HSL producer cell”, this result shows that Plux-lasI(K934022) synthesized 3OC12HSL.
