Part:BBa_K185033

An inverter of a special lactose operon system based on J23110-rbs34-lacI-dter-plac-rbs31

It is an inverter which its downsteam gene will always be repressed by lacI protein unless IPTG is added. And the synthetic rate of the downsteam gene is low because the low binding efficiency of B0031. This part improve on the basis of lac QPI system(BBa_K098986)

Characterization of an inverter of lac system(BBa_K185033)

It is an inverter which its downsteam gene will always be repressed by lacI protein unless IPTG is added. And the synthetic rate of the downsteam gene is low because the low binding efficiency of B0031.

And I choose to assemble BBa_I712019 with it. Here is the data

Sample	OD	RLUs1	RLUs1/OD
A1	2.64	8090131	3064444
A2	1.83	12033165	6575500

1. Sample A1/A2 are BL21 strain carrying BBa_K185033, induced by IPTG. for 5h.
2. Sample B1/B2 are BL21 strain carrying BBa_K185033, induced by IPTG. for 4h.
3. Sample C1/C2 are BL21 strain carrying BBa_K185033, induced by IPTG. for 2h.
4. Sample D1/D2 are BL21 strain carrying BBa_K185033, induced by IPTG. for 1h.
5. Sample E is BL21 strain carrying BBa_K185033, induced by IPTG. for 5min.
6. Sample F is BL21 strain carrying BBa_K185033, but it is not induced by IPTG.

Fig 5. Relationship between inducing time(t) and RLUs1/OD

From the data above, we know that the downstream genes (luciferase) are switched on sharply (about 100 times the uninduced sample) in the initial 1 hour. And then the synthesis of luciferase decreases into about 10 times the uninduced sample. It is certificated that our lac system is working.
