Part:BBa_K3654018
terminator/PlacI-RBS-mprA-T7 terminator - PT7-LacO-RBS-CouP-T7 terminator
This composite part is composed of a combination of two composite parts (BBa_K3654013 and BBa_K3654016). BBa_K3654016 is responsible for inducing the continuous expression of mprA and IPTG induction of CouP. In addition, BBa_K3654013 provides a site for regulating the expression of mScarlet.
Usage and Biology
1. Design
Our biosensor is composed of two main parts. The first part expresses mprA, which functions as a negative regulator, and the other part regulates the expression of the reporter gene. The mprA protein expressed by the constitutive promoter LacI binds to the emrR promoter and inhibits mScarlet expression. When Biosensor E. coli uptakes phenolic compounds (Fig. 1B), the mprA protein and the phenolic compound are bound, while the mprA protein is no longer bound to the emrR promoter. As a result, mScarlet becomes expressed.
2nd Iteration As the overexpression of CouP could affect the expression of the Reporter gene, we constructed a new plasmid DNA in which LacI promoter controls the CouP expression,. We followed the same procedure as the previous experiments, and observed brighter red fluorescence when CouP was present. After digitizing the pixel intensity of the fluorescence with the help of ImageJ, we found that the fluorescence was about 20% higher when CouP was present.
