Part:BBa_K2333434
pLac0-1 mf-Lon
This is an IPTG-inducible mf-Lon construct containing the pLlac 0-1 promoter. William and Mary 2017 has modified the mf-Lon gene via codon-optimization for iGEM use and added a double terminator.
Usage and Biology
This composite part is a combination circuit with the LacI repressor under the constitutive promoter J23105 and mf-Lon under the control of the PLlac 0-1 promoter. The mf-Lon protease specifically targets different protein degradation tags with varying affinities corresponding to varying degradation rates. This IPTG-inducible mf-Lon construct was used in tandem with aTc-inducible pdt reporter constructs by William and Mary 2017 to obtain gene expression speed measurements.
Characterization
W&M 2017 characterized this mf-Lon containing composite part in combination with aTc-inducible pdt reporter constructs as well as with copper sulfate inducible pdt reporter constructs. The graphs below show this speed data along with the data from the other tags in this series (BBa_K2333413-BBa_K2333419).
Time course measurements were performed according to standard protocol, and fluorescence was normalized to steady state based upon when fluorescence no longer increased. As the no-Lon condition had not reached steady state when time course was ended, it was normalized to the final collected data point, which is likely close to the true steady state.
