luxI_luxR_Plux_gfp

This construct comprises parts from the quorum sensing system of Vibrio fischeri. It contains LuxI, an acyl homoserine lactone synthase and LuxR, the corresponding regulator, which is able to bind to the promoter Plux, leading to induction of GFP synthesis.


Usage and Biology


  • Acyl homoserine lactone synthase: LuxI
  • Regulator: LuxR
  • Promoter: Plux, inducible by the quorum sensing molecule acyl homoserine lactone when bound to LuxR
  • GFP: Green fluorescent protein
  • gfp expression is induced after synthesis of the acyl homerine lactone by LuxI, which binds to the pLux promoter together with LuxR
  • This construct shows functionality of promoter by increase of fluorescence over time
  • This part contains Type IIS restriction sites and can be further used for scarless assembly with other parts

Characterization


Characterization of promoter by fluorescence measurement of GFP
To check whether the promoter Plux is really induced by the binding of the acyl homoserine lactone to the LuxR, this construct is created. Here the relative fluorescence units are measured in comparison to the wild type E. coli cells.

Results It can clearly be observed that fluorescence increases upon growth of the cells. Wild type cells (negative control) show little or no fluorescence at all.
