Activated Promoter RBS coupled Architecture

  • Description: Promoter coupled to RBS to provide a synthesis rate of protein depending on the amount of activator
  • Hypothesis:
    • Constant and continuous transcription and translation rate
    • Maximum synthesis rate depends on number of gene copies
    • quasi steady state approx on mRNA
    • unlimited resources for transcription and translation (excess in polymerase ...)
    • Binding of the activator on the promoter (Hill-function-type equation)
  • Inputs:
    • activator
    • nb-gene-copies
  • Outputs:
    • Synthesis rate
  • Characteristic parameters:
    • max-transcription-rate-per-gene
    • K (dissociation-constant)
    • n (Hill-coefficient)

Comments

  • This component is simply a container providing the synthesis rate specific to a constitutive promoter coupled to a RBS and a given level of the activator
  • To characterize this part you need to get {maxSynthesisRate} and {sensitivity}. It can be achieved experimentally using a quantitative GFP assay. Measurement of GFP levels should be done at steady state with different levels of the activator.
