Making E. coli Glow
Preliminary Design: -Light Sensing Inhibitor- -> -Light emission device-
Light Sensing Inihibitor: [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I15008 BBa_I15008] , [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I15009 BBa_I15009] , [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I15010 BBa_I15010] , [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0082 BBa_R0082]
Light Emission Device: (from lux [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operon 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operon operon].
Part: BBa_F1610 codes for LuxI, should we need it...
