Small RNAs in E. coli • We’re planning to use Spot 42 (which binds to the RBS) and SgrS (which binds to the 5’ UTR and recruits degradative enzymes) because there are professors on campus using them successfully. • We have access to strains of bacteria where the endogenous Spot 42 and SgrS systems have been knocked out. • Protocols regarding working with sRNAs: • Urban JH, Vogel J.

Autoinducers • We want to use autoinducers because of the quick reaction time. • We are planning to use LuxR and LuxI from Vibrio fisheri. This uses the autoinducer N-(3-Oxohexanoyl)-HSL. • Also the RhlI and RhlR system from Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the autoinducer N-(butyryl)-HSL • We have not characterized the final autoinducer system yet.

Pros Cons All the novel ideas makes it hard and complex. Time consuming. We need to characterize a third autoinducer. Each aspect of our project is a project within itself. There is a lot of data that we will need to reproduce. • It would be really cool and have lots interesting, novel aspects like the sRNA, hybrid systems, and autoinducer systems. • A quick reaction time. • We’d be introducing the hybrid system as a logic gate. • With sRNAs and hybrid system, you can create any comination of gates.
Questions?!?!? • Time: • How much time would it take to make the 2:4? • How much time would it then take to complete the 3:8? • How practical is it to assume that we’ll be able to recreate the literature: • sRNAs • Hybrid Systems • Autoinducers • Are acyl-ACP and SAM naturally produced in E. coli?

The part marked B in the upper left is the DNA sequence for the MicC gene. The part marked A shows the binding site of MicC.
RyhB Figure 2 Complementarity between the sdhCDAB operon and RyhB. Genes of the sdhCDAB operon are shown in A. Lines marked EM8 and EM9 show the position of the oligonucleotide probes used for Northern blots (Fig. 3). B shows the predicted interaction between RyhB and the sdhCDAB sense strand. The ribosome binding site for sdhD is underlined. The start codon for sdhD is shown underlined and in italics, and the stop codon for sdhC is shown in gray.
OxyS It negatively controls oxidative stress response within the cell.

Efficiency of Autoinducers They used 3-oxo-hexanoyl-homoserine lactone (OHHL)
Kinetics of Autoinducers We’re using a non-feedback system, so look at the triangles and the green.
Autoinducers • 3OC6HSL is AI-1 which interacts with LuxR to activate pLuxCl, which activates Luxpr. • 3OC12HSL is PAI-1, which interacts with LasR to activate pLAS, which activates pLAS • Furanosyl borate diester is AI-2, which interacts with LuxQ to activate pLux, which activates pLuxpr.
