Autoinducer-2 Response Device B

This composite part consists of the AI-2 quorum sensor-inducible promoter BBa_K1981101, a GFP coding sequence BBa_E0040, a LsrR coding sequence BBa_K091001, two double terminators BBa_B0015. In AI-2 Response Device B, GFP expression is under the control of promoter, plsr. When phospho-AI-2 binds LsrR, expression of GFP ensues. The expression of GFP can directly response to the AI-2 level in the environment, which is an alternative way to reflect the AI-2 concentration in the nature or artificial environment. In this device, additional lsrR expression enables additional repression of target genes for tighter regulation and delayed response compared to AI-2 response device A.

1. Usage and Biology

This composite part consists of the AI-2 (autoinducer-2) quorum sensor-inducible promoter BBa_K1981101, a LsrR coding squence BBa_K091001, a GFP coding sequence BBa_E0040, a double terminator BBa_B0015. We firstly isolated promoter lsr and lsrR gene from E.coli MG1655. GFP BBa_E0040 and double terminator BBa_B0015 are standard part offered by iGEM. Then we succeesflly constrcuted TT+ lsrR + plsr + GFP + double terminator by using Homologous recombination technology.

In AI-2 Response Device B, GFP expression is under the control of promoter, plsr. When phospho-AI-2 binds LsrR, expression of GFP ensues. The expression of GFP can directly response to the AI-2 level in the environment, which is an alternative way to reflect the AI-2 concentration in the nature or artificial environment. In this device, additional lsrR expression enables additional repression of target genes for tighter regulation and delayed response compared to AI-2 response device A.
