Our team characterised the sensitivity of EsaR protein to a certain AHL molecule: 3OC6HSL. The results are shown below:

From the plate reader result, it is clear that we reproduce the response trend of these variants: D91G and V220A are more sensitive and I70V shows a similar sensitivity compared to wild-type. D91G variant cells shows almost no fluorescence when the AHL concentration is 100nM, where other variants or wild-type are just start to have a lower GFP expression level. However, the initial gene expression level controlled by these systems are not reproducible. D91G and V220A show a lower expression level and I70V is much higher than what we expected.

In this figure, we mainly show the distribution of the bacterium cells with a different fluorescence intensity. And it shows that except for I70V, other variants and wild-type have the same performance compared to our plate reader analysis. In I70V sample, the cell population is concentrated at a very low fluorescence intensity level and only few of the cells show a high intensity. After increasing the AHL concentration to 100nM, the population that have a high fluorescence intensity shift back to normal and when the concentration raises up to 1000nM, we can barely see any cells with high intensity. This performance might be caused by the quality of our sample because even there is no AHL molecule, there are only a few of cells show a high fluorescence intensity. Further reproduce experiment need to be performed.

Transcriptional regulator esaR

esaR is a transcriptional regulator from the plant pathogen Pantoea stewartii . It binds an 18bp sequence on DNA, and can be released by binding to the specific AHL molecule it responds to...
