Description
Synthesizes 3OC6HSL, which binds to LuxR.
Directly downstream of the ATG start codon is an AsiSI restriction site, a 5 bp-spacer, and an AscI restriction site. These two restriction sites allow for unique coding sequences to easily be swapped out of the gene. These unique coding sequences contain frameshift mutations that can be suppressed by 5-bp tRNA suppressors. Whether or not these frameshift mutations are suppressed determines whether or not LuxI will be transcribed properly.
