Cling-E. coli Let’s get together: Quorum-sensing Stephanie Lo, Perry Tsai July 9, 2007
Random peptide display and screening Transformation Expression + FACS (target with fluorescent tag) MACS (target with magnetic bead) LppOmpA
Target (eg Nickel) luxR luxI luxI luxR yo ‘sup OHHL Bringing bacteria together
OHHL luxR Test constructs BBa_I13263 BBa_T9002
Fluorescence response to OHHL induction GFP YFP 100nM OHHL 10nM OHHL Non-induced No luxR
BioBricks, assemble! luxR luxI LuxI generator LuxR generator / LuxI receiver / Reporter luxI/luxR LuxI/LuxR generator and receiver
Looking into new BioBricks LuxI amplifier LuxR generators with different promoters LuxI amplifier and reporter LuxI receiver with different reporter
In other LppOmpA news… Lpp-OmpA PDZ Western blot PDZ domain (+) LO-PDZ IPTG(-) LO-PDZ IPTG(+) GFP-Mek 0 1 2 1+2 0 1 2 1+2
Synthesized LppOmpA (sLO) Original LppOmpA BioBrick-assembled LppOmpA ACTAGA ThrArg Mixed ACTAGA ThrArg Mixed Synthesized LppOmpA ACTAGA ThrArg Mixed
This week’s agenda • FACS appointment on July 11 • Checking out ligations and new BioBricks • More fluorescence assays, possibly with new constructs • Construction of GFPmek for PDZ binding • Preparing sLppOmpA for future assembly
