We tried to modify pCI, the well-known regulator from lambda phage. The original design of pCI in iGEM community is pR, which is composed of OR1 in -10 region, and OR2 in -35 regions. The transcriptional factor CI would preferentially bind to OR1 and then OR2 with cooperatively binding, via C terminal domain interaction. In the normal physiological condition, the binding of OR2 would further tighten the binding of RNA polymerase to pRM promoter and stimulate its own transcription. The binding site -10 upstream of starting point is critical to the function of the repressor. Under this notion, it seems more reasonable to pick a sequence unit with a higher affinity in -10 region. Thus we incorporate OL1, only one base pair different from OR1, and 10 times higher affinity, in our modified pCI repressor, with OR1 in -35 region.

Inspired by OhioState 2021, we fused pR to mCherry in an attempt to determine its expression profile. Once the fusion of mCherry and pR was obtained we attempted to ligate into the pET28a backbone (given to us by Dr. David Wood's Lab). However once isolation via gel extraction was done for our backbone and inserts were digested with BamHI and NotI, ligation transformations proved fruitless after many attempts and swapping of buffers. Eventually because of time constraints were unable to pursue the problem any further.

We met the same problem Tokyo Tech has faced back in 2007 that bacteria could grow on solid/liquid medium with Amp, but nothing was found in gel after miniprep and electrophoresis. This whole procedure was repeated at least 5 times. Meanwhile, some new bacteria did grow on the Amp medium after a couple of days R0051 plasmid was transformed. We would say that for some reason R0051 plasmid gave the host bacteria resistance to Amp and then disappeared. Pretty strange and annoying.

BBa_R0051 does not work well due to its rather small size. We transformed it for three times, and none of them succeed. We designed primers to PCR it out from K091230 successfully, but failed to perform the digestion since it is too small to extract from gel. It may work better if adding some nonsense sequence before the promoter.

In our experiment, we used an intermediate protein cI and constructed an indirect pathway. Our device will respond to glucose, being activated at high concentration of glucose.In this way, we changed the function of the promoter R0051.

The indirect regulatory pathway

As you can see, in this pathway, protein cI will be expressed when CRP is activated at low glucose concentration.The large amount of cI repressed the promoter R0051 heavily. On the contrary, when glucose concentration is high, the promoter is derepressed.

In this figure, the fluorescence of RFP generator promoted by PcstA decreased when concentration of glucose rose, meanwhile, the fluorescence of the indirect regulatory device increased with the glucose concentration, indicating that the device works as expected.In another word,the device we designed has a new function, activated by high concentration of glucose.
