Applications of BBa_K117002

This promoter is activated indirectly by AI-2 to promote whatever downstream gene ligated behind it.

The 2015 Genspace iGEM Team replaced this part with a working version of pLsrA by submitting part BBa_K1799000. We have shown that it works in the device BBa_K1799022.

Fluorescence intensity of promoter lsrA-gfp((BBa_K117002)-gfp) was almost the same as promoterless-gfp(negative control). Strain used in this assay lacks lsrR. This work is done by Takuya Tsubaki. This part(BBa_K117002) does not work properly. To confirm this, we introduced a gfp gene(BBa_J54103) downstream of the promoter. As a consequence, fluorescence intensity of lsrA promoter-gfp((BBa_K117002)-gfp) was almost the same as promoterless-gfp(negative control), showing that lsrA promoter(BBa_K117002) does not work properly. In spite of no LsrR repression, gene transcription does not take place sufficiently. We improved this part.Our new lsrA promoter(BBa_K649100) works.

[sample] Ptet-gfp on pSB1A2(JD22597) Promoterless-gfp on pSB6A1(JD22597) PlsrA-gfp on pSB1A2(BBa_K649104)(JD22597) PlsrA-gfp on pSB1A2(BBa_K117002-gfp)(JD22597) JD22597 is a strain lacking lsrR. [Method] 1.Overnight cultures of reporter strains grown at 37 °C in LB medium containing appropriate antibiotics were diluted 1:100 into 3 ml of LB medium and were incubated at 37 °C as fresh cultures. 2. After their OD590 reached 0.15, the fresh cultures were diluted 1:100. 3. After 4-hour incubation at 37 °C, 1 ml of each culture was moved to 1.6ml tube and its fluorescence intensity was measured with a flow cytometer.
