A cultivation of ECOL has been done and the fractions of the purification were analyzed further on protein content and re-buffered subsequently into deionized H<sub>2</sub>O. To determine the protein content afterwards because of loss of proteins through re-buffering, another [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Bielefeld-Germany/Amsterdam/Labjournal#Tuesday_October_17th/ protein concentration measurement] has been done. The re-buffered fractions have been incubated with 0.4 mM CuCl<sub>2</sub> to gain higher activity of the laccases, because they are copper-dependent. Standard activity tests were done with all ECOL fractions with adjusted protein content for comparison. The experimental setup included the ECOL fractions, Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 5) and 0.1 mM ABTS. Measurements were done at 25 °C. Resulting, one fraction showed very high activity in comparison to the other fractions (see Fig. 10). This fraction, fraction 50% 2, oxidized up to 23 µM ABTS after 5 hours. The first number of the sample indicates the percentage of used elution buffer, whereas the second number stands for the fraction number of this elution. This fraction was set as containing 90 % ECOL laccase of the whole protein content. Therefore a ECOL concentration of 63,9 µg mL<sup>-1</sup> was gained. This fraction was analyzed further on pH optimum, temperature dependency and ABTS saturation.

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, lsr. 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.

2.2 Response ability to exogenously added AI-2

We fisrtly tested whether AI-2 Response device A can respond to different AI-2 concentration. We directly added exogenous AI-2 into the culture. The final concentraton of AI-2 is 50μM, 40μM, 30μM, 20μM, 10μM, 0μM. Every one hour, optical density was measured and samples were harvested for HPLC analysis. The result below shows that deicve can respond to different AI-2 concentration resulting in different GFP expression.
