Purpose 1:

To check if LacI hybrid promoter is activated by AHL and repressed by LacI.

Purpose 2:

To obtain parameters of LacI hybrid promoter for computational simulation.

Samples:

1-1. pTrc99A + [Lux lac hybrid promoter – GFP] (LacI+) (AHL+)
1-2. pTrc99A + [Lux lac hybrid promoter – GFP] (LacI+) (AHL-)
2-1. pBR322 TetR + [Lux lac hybrid promoter – GFP] (lacI-) (AHL+)
2-2. pBR322 TetR + [Lux lac hybrid promoter – GFP] (lacI-) (AHL-)
3-1. pTrc99A + [placQI – GFP] (placQI is constitutive promoter) (Pos. con.) (AHL+)
3-2. pTrc99A + [placQI – GFP] (placQI is constitutive promoter) (Pos. con.) (AHL-)
4-1. pTrc99A + [LacI promoter – GFP] (Neg. con.) (AHL+)
4-2. pTrc99A + [LacI promoter – GFP] (Neg. con.) (AHL-)
5-1. pBR322 TetR + [LacI promoter – GFP] (Neg. con. check) (AHL+)
5-2. pBR322 TetR + [LacI promoter – GFP] (Neg. con. check) (AHL-)

Repressor LacI expression:
pTrc99A expresses LacI
pBR322 TetR does NOT express LacI

Antibiotics resistance:
pTrc99A gives ampicillin-resistance
pBR322 TetR gives ampicillin-resistance
[LacI hybrid promoter – GFP] gives kanamicin-resistance
[placQI – GFP] gives kanamicin-resistance

Procedure:

AHL assay Standard protocol

Results and Conclusion

Fig.1: Result of assay 0. Activities of the newly devised lux lac hybrid promoter (hy) were determined in the presence and absence of LacI (lacI(+) and lacI(-), respectively) and those of AHL (AHL(+) and AHL(-)).
