<h2>Post-transcriptional regulation<h2>
+
-
<p>The RsmA system has a homologous in Escherichia Coli named CsrA. We know these two system are extremely closed on
+
-
structural and functional sides. The most difference between this two regulation systems is on target regulon.
+
-
For example, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Rsma regulate many virulence genes as type III secretion system
+
-
(anja Brencic and Stephen Lory). In Escherichia coli, RsmA homologous regulate metabolic network.
+
-
Our goal is to integrate this translational regulation system in the toggle switch. We need to know whether it influence
+
-
the bacteria’s life.</p>

the same value. That explains a time lag between these two groups. After normalization of all curves, no differences

between these two kind of bacteria could be seen. We conclude that the RsmA overexpression hasn’t effects on the growth of bacteria.</p>

<p>The cytometer count each particle that pass through the light beam; It is necessary to select an analysis gate that corresponds to the bacteria size.  We can then see what is the natural fluorescence of our control bacteria.

<p>The two negatives controls (WT and without promoter) show a very little fluorescent signal as expected. The reference brick BBa_K25003 shows an impressive amount of GFP with about 77 % of the cell population that fluoresce more than the control.Its average fluorescent signal is 1030 vs 2,5(wild type). The signal from the brick containing maga leader sequence (BBA_K545006) doesn’t differ very much from the negative controls: four per cent of the cell population fluoresce more than the controls, at a very low level even. The fluorescence mean is 4,4 vs 2,5 from the WT control (window M1). </p>

To test this system, bacterias had grown in an aTc preculture to block them in a nonfluorescent way. This bacteria were put
+
-
in a 96 wells plate with a two dimensionnal gradient (aTc and IPTG). After 10 hours of acquisition, we obtained the following curve :
+
-
</p>
+
-
<img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2011/2/2d/Fusion.png" class="centerwide" style="box-shadow: none"/>
+
-
<p>
+
-
We can get from this graph that between an aTc concentration of 50ng/mL and 150 ng/mL there is a switch after 3 hours of experiment.
+
-
However, we can see more fluorescence than expected. In fact, the GFP protein has an half life of 10 hours and it was impossible to get
+
-
no fluorescence.
+
-
</p>
+
-
<p>
+
-
We also did an experiment on bacterias which had grown in an IPTG preculture. But we did'nt see a switch because IPTG block bacterias in
+
-
the fluorescence way. Because of the half life of GFP, it was possible to detect a switch only with bacteria which had grown with aTc.
+
-
</p>
+
-
<p>
+
-
To go further, it will be very interesting to put an LVA tag on GFP in order to control its degradation. In this case we will be abble to see
+
-
the switch in both case and with more magnitude. We also construct this toggle with the quorum sensing gene to get the proof of concept. And the construction with mercury repressor.
