In this circuit, LacI can repress ptrc-2 promoter and ptrc-2 derived promoter while the LacI can repress the pLtetO-1 promoter. When the aTc exits, it can combine tetR, so that the pLtetO-1 promoter can’t be repressed. Then the LacI which is controlled by the pLtetO-1 can repress the ptrc-2 promoter and ptrc-2 derived promoter. As a result, mf-lon and mazF can’t be expressed. As a kind of bacterial toxin, mazF can cause the bacteria death. So there comes the conclusion that as long as the engineered E.coli are cultured in the environment with aTc, it won’t be killed by the mazF, but when the bacteria escape from our testing instrument, the effect can be reversed, that is to say, the bacteria will be killed by the mazF. In the same way, we can conclude that in the presence of IPTG, MazF can be expressed to cause bacterial death.

RBS1

The ribosome binding sites which has suitable strength for the kill switch in detection part.We use it to favor TetR expression in the absence of aTc.

Usage and Biology

RBS1 is used to favor TetR expression in the absence of aTc. It is part of the circuit designed to prevent engineered bacteria in the detection instrument from escaping. Its strength fits the design of this monostable switch. In this circuit, LacI can repress ptrc-2 promoter and ptrc-2 derived promoter while the LacI can repress the pLtetO-1 promoter. When the aTc exits, it can combine tetR, so that the pLtetO-1 promoter can’t be repressed. Then the LacI which is controlled by the pLtetO-1 can repress the ptrc-2 promoter and ptrc-2 derived promoter. As a result, mf-lon and mazF can’t be expressed. As a kind of bacterial toxin, mazF can cause the bacteria death. So there comes the conclusion that as long as the engineered E.coli are cultured in the environment with aTc, it won’t be killed by the mazF, but when the bacteria escape from our testing instrument, the effect can be reversed, that is to say, the bacteria will be killed by the mazF. In the same way, we can conclude that in the presence of IPTG, MazF can be expressed to cause bacterial death.
