Wild type promoter of Esa I/R QS system---PesaRwt

Usage and Biology

QS system

Queue sensing (QS) is a natural form of cell-cell communication that regulates the metabolic behaviour of bacteria based on changes in their local cell density. As cell density increases, signalling molecules accumulate and are sensed by QS-controlled gene expression regulators, which turn on relevant gene expression.

Esa I/R system

The Esa I/R system is quite special from traditional QS system. The EsaI/R QS system is homologous to the LuxI/R QS system and originates the maize pathogen--Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartia. EsaR can act as both transcriptional activator and repressor. PesaR is a natural EsaR-repressed promoter, whereas PesaS is a natural EsaR-activated promoter. At low cell density (low ρ), EsaR binds to its esa box to turn off PesaR and turn on PesaS. In the presence of AHL, EsaR can bind to AHL and release from the DNA. Thus, at high cell density(high ρ), the PesaR is turned on and the PesaS is turned off

Characterization

The PesaRwt was characterized using mkate(Fig. 2).

Protocols

Our experimental conditions for characterizing this part were as follows:

  • E. coli MG1655
  • 30oC, 48h, under vigorous shaking
  • Plasmid Backbone: pCL
  • Equipment: Multi-Detection Microplate Reader (Synergy HT, Biotek, U.S.) and Molecular Devices SpectraMax i3x.

We used mkate (excitation at 485 nm and emission at 528 nm) to characterize this part. As our focus was mainly on the expression time, we processed the obtained fluorescence data by means of the following equation: x'=(x-min)/(max-x). This treatment makes all data fall between 0 and 1, which is easier to use for comparisons between different fluorescence data (since our focus is on expression time).
