Plac-RBS-KillerRed (IPTG-inducible)
KillerRed is a red fluorescent protein which produces ROS under green illumination (roughly 500-600 nm, absorption peak at 535 nm). This biobrick allows production of KillerRed under the control of the PLAC promoter (In this construction, actually a T5 phage promoter preceded by two lac operators for strong repression in presence of LacI).With this biobrick the production of KillerRed is IPTG-inducible. We used this part to trigger cell death in response to light illumination for controlling cell density in the Talk'E.coli project of Grenoble-EMSE-LSU 2013.
KillerRed is a red fluorescent protein with Absorption in the green portion and emission in the red portion of the visible spectrum (figure 1):
