Promoter HSL-mediated luxR repressor

Figure 1. DNA basic parts domestication. First construction refers to promoter GB domestication.

Part BBa_K2656002 is the repressible promoter BBa_R0061 compatible with both Biobrick and [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Design GoldenBraid 3.0] assemply methods. When LuxR protein is present, the Quorum Sensing responsible small molecule AHL (Acyl-homoserine-lactone) binds forming the heterodimer (LuxR.AHL), which subsequently dimerizes as the heterotetramer (LuxR.AHL)2 (Boada et al, 2017) as shown in Figure 2. This complex is the active transcription factor that represses this synthetic repressible promoter PluxR designed in (Egland and Greenberg, 2000).

This part can be combined with other compatible parts from our [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Part_Collection Valencia UPV IGEM 2018 Printeria Collection] to assemble transcriptional units with the Golden Gate assembly protocol .

In order characterize this promoter we constructed the composite part BBa_K2656116 using the following RBS, CDS and terminator:

• RBS BBa_K2656009: the B0030 RBS in its Golden Braid compatible version from our [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Part_Collection Part Collection]
• CDS BBa_K2656022: the E0040 GFPmut3b sequence in its Golden Braid standardized version from our [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Part_Collection Part Collection]
• Terminator BBa_K2656026: the B0015 transcriptional terminator in its Golden Braid compatible version from our [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Part_Collection Part Collection]

By using this [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Experiments#exp_protocol experimental protocol] and inducing at different AHL concentrations, we have obtained the following experimental measures (in blue dots). This measurements were compared with our [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Modeling#models constitutive AHL-LuxR model] to test it.
