luxR repressor/activator, (no LVA?)
In complex with HSL, LuxR binds to the Lux promoter, activating transcription from Pr BBa_R0062, and repressing transcription from Pl BBa_R0063.
The lux cassette of V. fischeri contains a left and a right promoter. The right promoter gives weak constitutive expression of downstream genes.This expression is up-regulated by the action of the Lux activator, LuxR complexed to HSL. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules the signalling compound homoserine lactone (HSL). This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.
Usage and Biology
We improved this part by using it in a part which allows for the constitutive expression of LuxR (BBa_K1893004). This part also includes the pLux promoter, so that genes placed downstream the promoter will be expressed when induced with 3OC6-AHL. We also made a part which allows for the characterisation of LuxR, as we placed GFP downstream the pLux promoter (BBa_K1893005). The part is currently being characterised.
Unspecified.

- Allergen characterization of BBa_C0062: Not a potential allergen
The Baltimore Biocrew 2017 team discovered that proteins generated through biobrick parts can be evaluated for allergenicity. This information is important to the people using these parts in the lab, as well as when considering using the protein for mass production, or using in the environment. The allergenicity test permits a comparison between the sequences of the biobrick parts and the identified allergen proteins enlisted in a data base.The higher the similarity between the biobricks and the proteins, the more likely the biobrick is allergenic cross-reactive. In the full-length alignments by FASTA, 30% or more amount of similarity signifies that the biobrick has a Precaution Status meaning there is a potential risk with using the part. A 50% or more amount of identity signifies that the biobrick has a Possible Allergen Status. In the sliding window of 80 amino acid segments, greater than 35% signifies similarity to allergens. The percentage of similarity implies the potential of harm biobricks’ potential negative impact to exposed populations. For more information on how to assess your own biobrick part please see the “Allergenicity Testing Protocol” in the following page http://2017.igem.org/Team:Baltimore_Bio-Crew/Experiments
For the biobrick Part BBa_C0062, there was a 0% of identity match and 0% similarity match to the top allergens in the allergen database. This means that the biobrick part is not of potential allergen status. In 80 amino acid alignments by FASTA window, no matches found that are greater than 35% for this biobrick. This also means that there is not of potential allergen status.

Summary:The QS system LuxR/LuxI has been widely used in kinds of logic circuit. But this year we find that LuxR can not always work well in E.coli. The LuxR, in E.coli, will not work when E.coli enter into stationary phase. This characteristic may be useful to users who will use LuxR as an activating transcription. (more details)
