With high level of lacI expression (https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2558203), sfGFP fluorescence has almost no response to IPTG induction. Weak lacI expression (https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2558205) has the most significant IPTG induced sfGFP expression. With medium lacI concentration (https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2558204), the induction efficiency lies in between. Therefore, the result proves that high level of lacI expression severely decrease IPTG induction efficiency [1]. Furthermore, IPTG concentration can affect the regulation part performance. The figure shows that without IPTG the sfGFP florescence intensity will be at floor level. After IPTG addition, fluorescence signal immediately begins to climb, forming a peak at five hours after induction, then sfGFP florescence intensity will decrease and maintain at a lower level afterwards. IPTG concentration does not significantly affect the height of the peak or the expression level after the peak, but the peak width and expression stability of the system. Figures indicate that 5-10 mM IPTG has the most stable induction results.

Ptac test device with Anderson strong-expressed lacI

Tac promotor is a hybrid between trp and lacUV5 promoters. Tac promotor is a kind of strong E. coli promotor and is IPTG inducible. This device contains constitutively (BBa_J23100, Anderson strong promotor) expressed lacI protein and Ptac controlled sfGFP reporter. We designed this device along with K2558204 and K2558205, which are the same except for the strength of the constitutive lacI expression. We aim to specify the relation between the level of lacI production and the quality of IPTG induced expression.

Usage and Biology

In order to investigate how lacI dosage affects IPTG induction, we used Anderson promotor J23100, J23110 and J23114 to design three constitutive lacI generators of different intensities. The three lacI generators were then ligated with Ptac driven reporter sfGFP to make three IPTG induction devices (BBa_K2558203, BBa_K2558204, BBa_K2558205). By measuring sfGFP fluorescence we tested how these devices react to IPTG.

Results

With high level of lacI expression (BBa_K2558203), sfGFP fluorescence had almost no response to IPTG induction. Weak lacI expression (BBa_K2558205) had the most significant IPTG induced sfGFP expression. With medium lacI expression level (BBa_K2558204), the induction efficiency lay in between. Therefore, the result proves that high level of lacI expression severely decreases IPTG induction efficiency [1]. Furthermore, IPTG concentration can affect the regulation part performance. The figure shows that without IPTG the sfGFP florescence intensity remained low. After IPTG addition, fluorescence signal immediately began to climb, forming a peak at five hours after induction, then sfGFP florescence intensity decreased and maintained at a lower level afterwards. IPTG concentration did not significantly affect the height of the peak or the expression level after the peak, but rather the peak width and expression stability of the system. Figures indicate that 5-10 mM IPTG had the most stable induction results.

Relative fluorescent intensity is fluorescence per OD600 standardized with fluorescence per OD600 value of each test group at Time=0, IPTG=0. The promotors we used are from the Anderson collection: BBa_J23100 for strong lacI-LVA expression (pink), BBa_J23110 for medium expression (green), BBa_J23114 for weak expression (orange).

    4. four Add 100 µl bacteria culture medium into a sterile 96-well plate. Add IPTG to final concentrations of 0, 1, 5, 10, 20 mM. Fresh M9 medium serves as blank control. Positive control is colony constantly expressing sfGFP and negative control is colony without sfGFP expression. Place the 96-well plate into an automatic microplate reader.
