BS_United_China 2023: we utilized this part to create our blue light suicide system, which is a system that will start when our engineering bacteria lost in the external environment is not exposed to blue light. This region of luxI promoter will be used in our design, where the EL222 binding region is located between −35 (TTGACA) and −10 (TATAAT) regions of the luxI promoter. In this way, once blue light is undetectable by EL222, the formation of EL222 dimers is terminated and the RNAP is allowed to bind back to the -35 to -10 region of the luxI promoter. This thereby activates the expression of CAS9 and its sgRNA sequence. The gene editing process takes place after that, disrupting two of the most crucial parts of the bacterial cell’s metabolic pathways, energy and protein production, which eventually cause the death of bacteria.

In order to characterize R0061, Plux repression promoter, we constructed K395101 combining R0061 and K121013, which is a promoter-less gfp reporter (rbs-gfp-ter-ter) on pSB6A1 and used a fusion of PlacIq (I14032) to gfp (K121013) as a positive control and used promoterless gfp (K121013) as a negative control.

Overnight cultures of reporter strains grown at 37 °C containing appropriated antibiotics were diluted at least 1:100 and incubated at 37 °C as fresh cultures. After their OD590 reached 0.6, added 3OC6HSL. After 3 hours of induction, fluorescence intensity was measured with flow cytometry.

After 3 hours of induction by 3OC6HSL, the expression of GFP with 3OC6HSL dropped to 1/3 comparing with the expression without 3OC6HSL.

We confirmed that this promoter works correctly. (→[http://2010.igem.org/Team:Tokyo_Tech/Project/Artificial_Cooperation_System/lux_act_rep more information])

  • To characterize R0061 biobrick part, we inserted a GFP reporter (E0240) under R0061 to make K396012.
  • We tested whether the GFP expression is repressed by LuxR and 3OC6HSL.
  • Repression could not be observed; we believe this is because we incubated the culture too much until stationary phase(see results & discussion below).
  • Other experiment that uses log phase cell (the original paper and the results from iGEM Tokyo Tech above) reports that the repression occurs.
