Applications of BBa_K1893012
This construct should be able to control transcription and thus regulate gene expression of a coding sequence as part of a two-plasmid system. For experimental characterisation, the first plasmid should contain this construct. The second plasmid should be the reporter plasmid containing the superfolder GFP (SFGFP) gene with a ribosome binding site immediately downstream of the STAR-target (pAD1 plasmid attenuator) sequence. The SFGFP coding sequence is under the control of a constitutive Anderson promoter and also has its own TrrnB terminator. The relative levels of transcription of either STAR and Anti-STAR when regulated by two constitutive promoters of differing strengths should regulate the amount of gene expression of the SFGFP.

Even though they are very small sequences, STAR and Anti-STAR with their associated terminator were both easy to amplify by PCR. However, when we attempted to ligate STAR and Anti-STAR, both under the control of the J23119 promoter, into the same plasmid, using the BioBrick assembly method, we were unsuccessful even though we tried a number of times to optimise various steps in the protocol. We think that perhaps a recombination event was occurring in the cells as the sequence of the promoter is duplicated. We did not experience any major difficulties when assembling STAR and Anti-STAR under the control of the quorum-regulated promoters separately (BBa_K1893020-BBa_K1893023).
