NorR-PnorV-amplicp
When nitric oxide is present in the environment, the promoter PnorV will initiate the expression of the blue chromoprotein.
Last year, the NO sensor had a serious leakage problem last year. At first , we considered the NorR over expression might be the key of the leakage. However, after we knock out the NorR, the leakage is more serious (Fig. 1B), and it seems that the NO sensor is out of work. So, we predicted that the plasmid constructed last year leaks a terminator downstream the NorR sequence. Therefore, we added terminator B0010/B0012 to the inflammation sensor we constructed (Fig. 1A). After adding the terminator, we found the amilCP leakage problem has been significantly relieved (Fig. 1C).

Figure 1A. Diagram for NO sensor system in pCDFDuet-1 plasmid. T7 promoter, the gene downstream of this promoter will be transcribed when there is T7 RNA polymerase. lacO, the sequence represses the nearby promoter when there is no inducer (e.g. IPTG). RBS, ribosome binding site. NorR, NO binding protein. PnorV, a promoter which is sensitive to NO. amilCP, blue chromoprotein.
