  1. BioSketchThe bacterial sketch pad. Thomas Noriega, Hing Eng, Yves Wang, Jennifer Gao, Yin Li, Chris Doucette Group Meeting 2005-06-20

  2. Switch Designs • Based on constructs from Collins Lab • lCI-LacIts • The only difference between our toggle switch plasmid and that in Kobayashi et al. (2004) is the introduction of ts mutation into LacI. • Based on BioBrick constructs • lCI-LacIts • 434-CI857 • We are also considering appending a heat-shock promoter to the OFF switch (lcI or 434) to turn off the system more quickly.

  13. Introduction of TS Mutations • LacIts (Chao et al., 2002; Yabuta et al., 1995) • Ala241Thr • 100±10 Miller units @ 30° C (induced b-gal activity) • 48000±1080 @ 40° C • Gly265Asp • 210±10 @ 30° C • 42100±815 @ 40° C • Greatest induction @ 37° C • Both are repressed by IPTG • CI857: ? • TS mutations are to be introduced via site-directed mutagenesis for one construct, which can then be subcloned into other constructs. • Alternatively, mutagenesis can be done for all necessary constructs, depending on time and cost considerations. Yabuta et al. 1995. J Biotechnol 39: 67-73; Chao et al. 2002. Biotechnol Bioeng 79: 1-8.

  14. Things We Need to Find Out • Input Parameters: • Optimal UV exposure to switch state • Optimal IPTG concentration to switch state • Optimal heat exposure to switch state • Amount of time a given state must be maintained • Effects of different heat-shock promoters • Other Parameters: • Effects of cell densities/growth phases • Effects of competing inputs • Delay between input and output • Experimental Setup: • How to apply the UV and the IPTG? • How long after seeding lawn to begin testing? • Should we also test in liquid medium? • Does SOS work in stationary phase • Effectiveness of UV laser pointer • Protocol for cotransforming bacteria w. multiple plasmids
