Site-directed mutagenesis was performed by PCR, subsequent DpnI digest and transformation.

Since it recognizes the same motif in the lac promotor region, it strongly represses transcription of all genes regulated by promotors with lacI binding site even if IPTG or allolactose are present. It can be used to terminate the expression of proteins under lac control if IPTG can not be removed from the cell rapidly. Detailed description: Expression of the lac operon in E. coli is tightly controlled by lacI, a protein, which binds to a repressor binding site within the promotor and disables transcription by obscuring the promotor region. When bound to DNA, lacI is in the tetrameric form, which consists of two dimers interacting at the end distal from the DNA binding site. Upon binding of allolactose or IPTG, the tetramer breaks down into two dimers and the affinity for the repressor binding site is greatly reduced; the lacI IPTG complex will diffuse away from the repressor binding site, leaving the promotor accessible. As a result of decades of genetic and structural studies, the function of lacI is now understood on the molecular level (1, 2). Mutational experiments have identified residues, which abolish IPTG response upon mutation (3). Furthermore, the x-ray crystal structure of lacI with bound IPTG has allowed the identification of residues that interact with IPTG and which are promising targets for mutagenesis (1). We decided to mutate residues R197 and T276, which are located in the IPTG binding groove, contact IPTG and have been shown to produce the lacI IS mutation in previous genetic experiments. Since a quantitative study of the strength of inhibition by different lacI IS mutants has to our knowledge not been published so far, we decided to generate a set of eight mutated lacIs, in which we replaced either R197 with alanine or phenylalanine or T276 with alanine or phenylalanine or both in all possible combinations. lacIIS-1: R197A lacIIS-2: R197F lacIIS-3: T276A lacIIS-4: T276F lacIIS-5: R197A T276A lacIIS-6: R197A T276F lacIIS-7: R197F T276A lacIIS-8: R197F T276F References: (1) Lewis, M., Chang, G., Horton, N.

As sequencing by Caltech has shown that BioBrick I763026 did not have a promotor this BioBrick is promotorless, too. Expression of the mutant LacI IS (and silencing of lac-controlled gene expression) can therefore be controlled by any promotor of choice if this BioBrick is cloned behind it. ===References:=== (1) Lewis, M., Chang, G., Horton, N.
