In the above construct, pgallx drives the production of GFP and is repressed by Laci. As shown in the graph above, the repressor, Laci (tagged with BFP), remains relatively constant over the entire IPTG gradient: a chemical that represses the activity of Laci.

LacI repressor

This is the LacI repressor from E.coli. LacI will bind with high specificity to the the operator lacO and is inhibited in the presence of IPTG.

The above data was collected from the following yeast strain:
ade2:: Kanmx-rtact1-pgal-gfp
ade4:: Natmx – rtact1-pgal-laci-bfp
In the above construct, pgallx drives the production of GFP and is repressed by Laci. As shown in the graph above, the repressor, Laci (tagged with BFP), remains relatively constant over the entire IPTG gradient: a chemical that represses the activity of Laci. Consequently, as IPTG concentration increases, Laci inhibition should be increasingly inhibited, resulting in more GFP being transcribed, which is supported by the above data. The levels of fluorescence then stabilize and achieve steady state.
