pRha + GFP
GFP controlled by pRha.
This BioBrick is used by [http://2014.igem.org/Team:Wageningen_UR BananaGuard] as a control in the [http://2014.igem.org/Team:Wageningen_UR/project/characterization rhamnose mediated characterization].
Usage and Biology
Figure 1. Average GFP fluorescence of E. coli DH5α carrying a pSB3K3 plasmid containing the pRha gfp BioBrick. At t=0 the cells were induced with different concentrations of rhamnose in triplo. Fluorescence is measured in a plate reader in time (A) and at time point 8.25 (B) normalized for OD600.
The measurements in Figure 1 indicate a tuneable activation of pRha by rhamnose. The RFU values of 0% and 0.001% rhamnose are not significant taking into account the high standard deviation for these measurements as can be seen in Figure 1B. From a rhamnose concentration of 0.01% to 0.2% a significant increase in fluorescence is measured. Fluorescence from Figure 2 can be used to predict the concentration of repressor protein produced. Data points for time 8.25 h were chosen for the graph in Figure 2B due to the peak at time for 0.2% rhamnose, which is visible in Figure 1. This peak can be explained by the rhamnose depletion, as it is consumed by E. coli, causing the stop of promoter induction.
