Function of the parts:
circuit regulators:
• LacI regulated promoter(pLac) : when LacI exists, it will bind to LacI regulated promoter(pLac) and represses the promoter.
• pLux/cI hybrid promoter(plux/cI) : when luxR/AHL exists, it will open pLux/cI hybrid promoter(plux/cI), while cI will repress the promoter. What’s more, plux/cI is cI-dominant, which means when cI exists, the hybrid promoter will be repressed whether luxR/AHL exists or not.
Circuit regulation:
• Circuit condition without Nosema:
Without Nosema Ceranae, the first circuit will not open, and thus, no LacI will be produced. Since there is no LacI binding to pLac, pLac will not be repressed, which means cI will be produced. After that, cI will bind to pLux/cI hybrid promoter, leading the third circuit to be off.
• Circuit condition with Nosema:
When Nosema Ceranae infects the bee, bee’s immune system will be activated, leading to the concentration of ROS (reactive oxygen species) to be high. In response, Bee. coli will enhance the production of oxyR, which forms a complex with ROS and binds to transcription binding site ahead of trxC (an oxyR-activated promoter; namely, the sensor), leading to the first circuit to be on.
Since the first circuit is on, the downstream LacI gene will be produced and bind to pLac, leading to the second circuit to be off.
After the second circuit is closed, no cI is produced, leading to the third circuit to be on (no repressor at all). And then, kill protein will be produced and kill Nosema Ceranae.
•Positive feedback:
Besides the LuxI and LuxR(which then form a complex called luxR/AHL) produced by first circuit, the third circuit will also produce LuxI and LuxR, which acts as a positive feedback and strongly enhances the production of killer protein.
•Circuit condition when Nosema is killed:
After Nosema is killed, the sensor will be off and no lacI will be produced.
Without LacI, the pLac will not be repressed, and the second circuit will be on, leading to the production of cI. After cI binds to pLux/cI hybrid promoter, the third circuit to be off. After that, the overall circuit will switch to the beginning stage when there is no Nosema.
Aims
1. To know how much time it needs from sensing to killing the Nosema after infection
2. To know whether the pathway is effective or not
3. To know the range of kill protein concentration (from the minimal concentration which Is effective to kill Nosema to the maximal concentration which will not do harm to the bees)
It is assumed that AHL is abundant and thus the formation of AHL2LuxR complex is determined only by the concentration of LuxR; CI’s mechanism of binding to the promoter is assumed to act as hill effect form; kill protein will sustain a period of time before it is degraded naturally without any other types of decomposition.
