Current Progress

Making E. coli Glow

Preliminary Design: -Light Sensing Inhibitor- -> -Light emission device-

Light Sensing Inihibitor: BBa_I15008 , BBa_I15009 , BBa_I15010 , BBa_R0082

Light Emission Device: (from lux operon) THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO. Lux Operon

Point Mutation: Lamda Red - Datsenko, Wanner... or by PCR: look for protocol on OpenWetWare\

Codon Usage Bias Database: http://www.kazusa.or.jp/codon/

Light Sensor Parts: http://partsregistry.org/Featured_Parts:Light_Sensor and paper : http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7067/full/nature04405.html (this paper simply explains how the device works!)

It seems to repress gene expression by having red light inhibit phosphorylation which would activate a promoter. We would replace the LacZ protein coding region with our lux operon.

Part: BBa_F1610 codes for LuxI, should we need it...
