Description
This device is a protein-expression unit which contains a Plux promoter and a transcriptional unit of LacI without LVA-tag. Plux can be activated by luxR-AHL complex and the promoter can activate the expression of downstream genes. We add LacI in this part. As we all know, LacI is a repressor which can bind with Lac operator. With the help of this feature, many logic gates or gene expression modulation can be achieved.
There is not LVA-tag in this part so that the repressor can keep working for a relatively long time.
Notes
We want to design a part that can repress another gene's expression
Source
We get LacI from the plasmid of our lab. Then we use overlap PCR to add the Plux promoter
