VqmAphage

vqmA gene would translate into protein VqmAPhage.
Vibrio cholerae uses a quorum-sensing (QS) system composed of the autoinducer 3,5-dimethylpyrazin-2-ol (DPO) and receptor VqmA, which together repress genes for virulence and biofilm formation [1]. VqmAVc activates expression of the vqmR gene encoding the small regulatory RNA VqmR. Vibriophage VP882 encodes a VqmA homolog called VqmAPhage that activates the qtip promoter (Pqtip). It’s worth noting that, VqmAPhage can activate vqmR expression but VqmAVc cannot activate expression of qtip. Promoter selectivity is driven by each VqmA DNA-binding domain and key DNA sequences in the vqmR and qtip promoters are required to maintain specificity. [2]

Usage and Biology

We assembled this part with Pqtip then transfected into E. coli to sensing the density of bacteria and regulate the circuit.

Figure 1. The circuit we assembled.

Characterization

Successful protein expression

We transformed vqmA into BL21 and cultivated in 37℃, 220 rpm. When the OD600 of bacteria reached 0.6, we induced bacteria with 1mM, 2mM IPTG, then cultivated for about 12 hours. Here is SDS-PAGE gel figure of VqmAphage.
