Fig. 1: Overview of BioBricks containing the
Tar gene downstream of Anderson promoters. (Activity according to Berkeley 2006)]]
The transmembrane chemoreceptor Tar of
E. coli mediates chemotaxis towards aspartate and exists as a functional homodimer.
Here we used a set of 8 constitutive
Anderson promoters from the 2006 Berkeley group to test how different levels of constitutive
Tar expression affect the chemotaxis of
E. coli.
Notes
- Genomic sequence was amplified using the following primers.
- Primers PCR: Base pairs in caps represent the respective restriction sites followed by either prefix or suffix. Primers were provided by SIGMA.
- Fwd: Tar for + prefix: 5?? actGAATTCgcggccgctTCTAGAtgattaaccgtatccgcgtagtc 3??
- Rev: Tar rev + suffix: 5?? tcCTGCAGcggccgctACTAGTcaaaatgtttcccagtttggatc 3??
- One XbaI site was found at position 420. The restriction site was changed from TCTAGt to CCTAGt via QuikChange PCR.
- Primers QuikChange (QC): Primers were provided by SIGMA.
