Inducible ampicillin resistance cassette + LuxR expression cassette
Induction of the beta lactamase mediated ampicillin resistance by LuxR and specific autoinducer N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL. In complex with the autoinducer molecule N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL, the transcription regulator LuxR binds to specific sequences in the promoter region and enables transcription of ampR. This construct provides all the parts required to express the gene downstream of the inducible promoter. Only LuxI, the synthase producing the autoinducer molecule N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL is missing in the construct. However, N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL can be taken up from the media.
Usage and Biology
The expression rate of the genes downstream of the promoter region can be tuned by the concentration of N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL in the media. In this case the expression of beta lactamase can be induced by adding N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL to the culture broth. Expression of LuxR is regulated by the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 and RBS of medium strength (BBa_B0032).
