Prhl(RR)_GFP

Prhl(RR) is a promoter that is activated by C4HSL.
We improved Prhl (BBa_R0071) by changing LuxR binding site of Plux (BBa_R0062) to RhlR binding site. (Fig.1)
The bottom structures of LuxR and RhlR are similar to each other, so RhlR can bind to Lux Box. (Fig.2)

On the downstream of the promoter, GFP is inserted as a reporter.

To characterize the function of the rhl(RR) promoter (BBa_K1529320), we constructed this part Prhl(RR)_GFP (BBa_K1529321) by inserting rhl(RR) promoter upstream of a GFP coding sequence.
By using reporter cells that contain Prhl(RR)-GFP, we measured the fluorescence intensity of the cells induced by C4HSL (Fig. 2).
We saw that our new rhl(RR) promoter was actually activated by C4HSL through an induction assay (Fig. 3).
