Site directed mutagenesis of the BBa_R0062 pLuxR wild type promoter to obtain the pLuxR variant BBa_K2126007

Figure 1. Site of the directed mutagenesis in the luxbox.As indicated you can see the mutations of the pLuxR variant compared to the wild type in red. The positions which were mutated randomly are indicated in red-underlined

Our goal was to achieve mutations in the luxbox of the pLuxR BBa_R0062 promoter to shift the dose response curve of the promoter depending on the OHHL (3-oxo-hexanoyl-l-homoserine-l-lactone) concentration.
We did site directed mutagenisis of specific sites of the luxbox according to the results of the literature ()
We mutated the promoter directly in the J09855 construct and added a GFP reporter to be able to screen for differences in the dose response curves. In the end we isolate one mutated promoter which shows a 300'000 fold shift in sensivity.
