Working on LovTAP.Reporter systems: PCR to fuse trpL promoter
In order to construct the reporter system regulated by LovTAP, I and Zepeda are working together to fuse the promoter trpL with a reporter gene. As we are interested in characterize LovTAP activator and repressor activity. We have designed the following constructions.


 * LovTAP repressor activity: Reporter system

trpL promoter fused to GFP protein:Part:BBa_E0240


 * LovTAP activator activity: Reporter system 

trpL promoter fused to lambda Repressor cI: Part:BBa_P0451 + Part:BBa_K098991 regulating GFP protein:Part:BBa_E0240

Both constructions will be inserted in plasmid pSB3K3 for measurements.

Experimental Setup
1.Insert the trpL promoter through a PCR reaction to the plasmid pSB1C3.

 * PCR taq platinum reaction mixture


 * 35 PCR programmed cycles:

The reaction starts at 95°C during 5 min.

Each cycle is programmed as follows:

After the cycle 35, the temperature changes to 72°C during 5 min and ends at 4°C.

Results:PCR with promoter trpL
