Design Notes

  • The virA gene is under the control a medium strong constitutive promoter so there is enough VirA receptor expressed but not too much so the cell suffers from the expression (VirA is a membrane protein)
  • The virG gene is mutated so it works without an rpoA subunit from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (YC Jung et al., 2004)
  • double terminator (forward) to keep expression of luciferase gene by the constitutive promoter low
  • luciferase gene to show the activity of the vir promoter
  • this BioBrick is for measuring the behaviour of the natural VirA/G system
