Phage Lambda-TetO

A modified phage lambda PL promoter with tet operator sites. This part functions as a promoter that allows for tetracycline-based transcriptional activation


GFP Expression using BBa_K3189001

The flasks in Figure 1 shows 50 mL E.coli cells transformed with gfp under the control of BBa_K3189001. On the plasmid containing BBa_K3189001 is the repressor, BBa_K3189004, needed for proper function of the promoter. Tetracycline was used to induce the system, resulting in GFP production and fluorescence is seen using a UV wand.

An initial expression test of GFP under the control of BBa_K3189001 was preformed using 1 ng/mL and 50 ng/mL tetracycline. It can be seen in Figure 2 that more fluorescence was seen with the higher concentration of tetracycline. Based on these results it seems that BBa_K3189001 responds to tetracycline in a dose dependent manner.

To determine what levels of tetracycline are needed to induce expression of GFP downstream of BBa_K3189001, a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) like test was preformed using decreasing level of tetracycline. The tetracycline levels used started at 10,000 ng/mL in the first column of the plate in Figure 3 and reduced by half in each subsequent well until reaching 0.01 ng/mL. This plate was imaged using an UV light table. Visually it can be seen that the brightest wells are at 312.5 ng/mL for E. coli BL21(DE3) with little to no fluorescence was observed E. coli DH5a.

BBa_K3189001 in BBa_K3189015

The construct BBa_K3189015 containing the chromoprotein amilCP (BBa_K1343022) under the control of BBa_K3189001. When the system is induced with 100 ng/mL of tetracycline, a dark blue colour is produced (Figure 4 and Figure 5). This shows BBa_K3189001 is able to function with different reporter proteins other than just gfp.
