Constitutive expression cassette for LuxR (J23100.B0034.C0062.B0015)

Part Structure

The Biobrick encodes luxR (BBa_C0062) under control of the constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 followed by the ribosome binding site BBa_B0034. The transcription of luxR is terminated by the double terminator BBa_B0015.

Mode of Action

Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules the signalling compound homoserine lactone (HSL). This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter BBa_R0062, increasing the rate of transcription.

Purpose

This Biobrick was designed for the [http://parts.mit.edu/igem07/index.php/ETHZ ETHZ iGEM 2007 project] and belongs to the constitutive part of the system. In the project description, this part is also termed Part 2. The constitutively synthesized lacI interacts with .... A similar (but not used) construct in this context is BBa_Q04121.
