pTet.lacI-cfp(fusion).terminator.pTet.yfp.terminator


It has got single negative feedback loop on the plasmid(pSB2K3) copy number.Plasmid copy number

is dependent on IPTG concentration (inducer). Here there is no control on the lacI expression.The copy number is characterized by YFP while LacI is characterized by LacI-CFP fusion protein. YFP was measured using FACS and the distribution obtained was independent of IPTG. Beta-galactosidase was also measured at various lactose concentration to characterize the expression of gene in the host genome. Further the growth of the transformant was also characterized at different lactose concentrations.

Characterization

Steady state concentration of YFP was measured using FACS. Illustrative FACS results are given below: The mean, variance and standard error were noted for difference strains and at different IPTG concentration. The FACS results are shown for varying IPTG concentrations varying from 0um to 500um.

Result

The YFP Expression increased around 10 folds from 0 to 100 μM of IPTG Conc and thereafter its value was almost constant to 200 and 500 μM of IPTG conc. After this the expression profile of YFP between 0 and 100 μM was measured. Once can observe that the variability is decreasing as compared to that seen in the open loop(BBa_K255004).

Following figure shows variation of YFP expression at various IPTG concentrations in Strain BBa_K255002, where the copy number is regulated. YFP indicates the status of copy number.

Safety

Because this part is from commonly used elements in bacteria. No safety problem can be arised by this part.
