Cling-E. coli Let’s get together: Quorum-sensing Stephanie Lo, Perry Tsai July 9, 2007
Random peptide display and screening + Transformation Expression LppOmpA MACS (target with magnetic bead) FACS (target with fluorescent tag)
Bringing bacteria together Target (eg Nickel) yo ‘sup luxR luxI OHHL
Test constructs OHHL luxR BBa_I13263 BBa_T9002
Growth data for log phase determination
Fluorescence response to OHHL induction GFP YFP 100nM OHHL 10nM OHHL Non-induced No luxR
BioBricks, assemble! LuxR generator / LuxI receiver / Reporter LuxI generator luxI LuxI/LuxR generator and receiver luxI/luxR
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 GFP-Mek PDZ domain (+) LO-PDZ IPTG(-) IPTG(+) 0 1 2 1+2
Synthesized LppOmpA (sLO) Original LppOmpA ACTAGA ThrArg Mixed BioBrick-assembled LppOmpA 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
