Our summary of the Lsr system: Davidson/Missouri_Western_iGEM2008#Lsr_.28AI-2.29_cell_signaling_system
- There are NO Lsr parts in the registry:
- We will need to make BB parts for:
- LsrR and LsrK which are adjacent to each other in the E. coli genome. We could amplify them together with a total size of over 2600bp.
- Lsr promoter
- LuxS that produces DPD that somehow is converted to R-THMF.
- How do we get cells to make AI-2?
* We do NOT need to use additional chemical input signals (e.g., aTc and IPTG). We will use only AHL and AI-2 added exogenously.
* We need to have an XOR logic gate produced.
Existing Logic Gates
- AND:
Existing But Complex
Simple But Hypothetical
We would need to have:
- Starts with pTetR
- over production of LacIQ repressor but note this link is plain LacI
- over production of TetR repressor
- Therefore, we will have to build 1) modified promoter and 2) LacIQ
- NAND:
- NOR:
- NOT (Inverters):
Self-Contained Inverters
PoPS Output Inverters
* We need to figure out how to get cells to communicate in a sequence and not stop growing too soon.
- What if AmpR is secreted and cells are not AmpR?
This would prevent cells down the chain from responding too soon. Erin and Pallavi have conducted experiments with this for both distance and timing.
