This part produces AHK4, a receptor of iP(isopentenyl adenine: kind of cytokinin). This part was introduced to <i>E.coli</i>(KMI002) and sensed iP synthesized by human cell. The gene(<i>ahk4</i>) is derived from <i>A.thaliana</i> and optimized for <i>E.coli</i> codon in reference to the codon usage. The AHK4 protein is transmembrane protein and toxic for <i>E.coli</i> cell. Thus, We regulated expression of AHK4 by P<sub>BAD/araC</sub>: L-arabinose operon(tight transcriptionaly regulation system).

This part produces AHK4, a receptor of iP(isopentenyl adenine: kind of cytokinin). This part was introduced to E.coli KMI002 strain and sensed iP synthesized by human cell. The gene(ahk4) is derived from A.thaliana and optimized for E.coli codon in reference to the codon usage. The AHK4 protein is transmembrane protein and toxic for E.coli cell. Thus, We regulated expression of AHK4 by PBAD/araC: L-arabinose operon(tight transcriptionaly regulation system).

Characterization

The purpose of experiments on this page is to confirm that AHK4 can receive iP, a signal molecule produced by human cells, and AHK4→RcsD→RscB→cps pathyway will be activated in turn. To see the activation of the pathway, we used E.coli KMI002 strain as a carrier of AHK4. This KMI002 possesses cps::lacZ fusion gene and the activation of AHK4→RcsD→RscB→cps::lacZ pathway can be observed through the activity of β-galactosidase. As a qualitative experiment, we observed it if AKH4 carrying cells develop blue color under the existence of iP and X-gal on agar plates. As a quantitative experiment, we cultured E. coli with various concentrations of iP in liquid medium and measured β-galactosidase activity by using ONPG.
