Characterization

To assess the strength of our GAL4 responsive promoter set (BBa_K1144001, BBa_K1144002, BBa_K1144003 and BBa_K1144004) when induced with Dexamethasone, we performed a fluorometric assay using mCherry as our reporter.Since we don't have our transactivating protein ready yet, we co-transformed our parts into the E. coli DH10B strain with the pAT7002 vector (Aoyama and Chua, 1997), which contains a well characterized Glucocorticoid Responsive Element that also uses the GAL4 DNA binding domain.

Unsaturated curve where we see how the mCherry reporter appears after the addition of 10 uM dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid. Emmision intensity was measured at 607nm after excitation at 586nm


Saturated curve for fluorescence. After three hours of the addition of 10 uM dexamethasone the reporter (mCherry) reaches its highest signal. We can see the different strengths depending on the number of UAS boxes. Emmision intensity was measured at 607nm after excitation at 586nm


We also decided to visually inspect our induced transformants. Here two of the images taken using a epifluorescent microscopy with a TRITC filter.
