Description
M13 is a filamentous phage that infects only F+ strains of E. coli, which does not kill the host cell.
This biobrick is derived from M13mp18 phage vector by PCR. It inclueds 11 ORFs, M13 origin, a packaging sequence and Lac promoter. The promoter on the upstream of g2(gene 2) is altered to Lux promoter.
A phage particle is formed only when the host cell receives AHL signal(3OC6HSL, C6) because g2p(gene 2 protein) is an endonuclease needed for a plasmid to be replicated by M13 origin, and to be packaged into the phage particle.
As a reporter, GFP is inserted on the downstream of the Lac promoter.
