luxI_codon optimized S.cerevisiae
LuxI is an acyl homoserine lactone synthase, most known from the bacterium Alivibrio fischeri. LuxI is a basic component of the quorum sensing system of <nobr>A. fischeri</nobr>. In bacteria use it as a communication module among organisms to regulate expression of genes. In this part the synthase is codon optimized for the common yeast, <nobr>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</nobr>. Besides the codon optimization the construct contains also type II S cutting sites (BsaI), useful for example for Golden Gate cloning method. In yeast quorum sensing system is not frequently encountered and therefore a codon optimized form for utilization in an eukaryotic organism represents a beginning to design control systems in this type of organisms. For example, this LuxI is coupled with the design of a synthetic promoter, which is supposed to be activated by binding of the quorum sensing molecule together with the regulator (LuxR) to the promoter to induce expression of a reporter or a lysis gene to control cell population.
Usage and Biology
This part can be used as a component for designing synthetic circuits in S.cerevisiae. For instance in our project we used this gene to induce expression of a reporter after activation of a synthetic, self designed promoter.
