Improved LacI

LacI is one of the genes in Lac operon encoding the inhibitor protein binding to LacO sites (cis-acting element). In response to IPTG, the inhibitor protein detaches from LacO and enables the transcription of downstream genes. We mutated some specific sites in the LacI gene to improve its sensibility to IPTG.<upper>[1]<upper> Using EGFP as a reporter, its fluorescence intensity appears a lower leakage and the same level of expression before and after the induction of IPTG. Also, we induce the improved Lac operon by arabinose to verify its orthogonal response to IPTG.

This part is improved in the following three main aspects.

Lower Response to Arabinose, Better Orthogonality

Same Level of Expression when Induced by IPTG

Lower Uninduced Leakage
