The purpouse for building and testing this part is so we can test the prey cell in isolation to determine the Production rates of the proteins involved in the predator cell. The Aiia gene has been replaced with GFP. This allows us to directly mesure the production rate of a protein which is located in the place of GFP in our final system.
*The purpouse for building and testing this part is so we can characterize the production of AHL-lactonase
*The Aiia gene has been replaced with GFP to allow direct measurement of protein production
*The sensing part of the predator produces AHL lactonase as a function of the AHL produced by the prey
*From this data we can create a transfer function where AHL is the input and GFP the output
*In this part the AiiA gene has been replaced with the reporter gene GFP to allow the measurement of the production of GFP as a function of AHL.
*Making the assumpion that AHL-lactonase is transcribed at the same rate as GFP we can use the transfer curve to extract parameters to allow characterization of the sensing part of the predator
*The resulting transfer curve will be used to extract parameters Vmax and Kd to characterize the part and for use in our modelling.
*The part will be used to form the sensing part of the final predator construct
*This part will form the receiver of the final predator construct

Motivation

  • The purpouse for building and testing this part is so we can characterize the production of AHL-lactonase
  • The Aiia gene has been replaced with GFP to allow direct measurement of protein production
  • From this data we can create a transfer function where AHL is the input and GFP the output
  • Making the assumpion that AHL-lactonase is transcribed at the same rate as GFP we can use the transfer curve to extract parameters to allow characterization of the sensing part of the predator
  • The part will be used to form the sensing part of the final predator construct
