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. Translational control and target recognition by Escherichia
coli small RNAs in vivo. Nucleic Acids Res. 2007;35(3):1018-37. Epub 2007 Jan 30.
PubMed PMID: 17264113; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC1807950.
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-(3Oxohexanoyl)-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
• 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.
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.
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?

Hfq-dependent regulation of OmpA synthesis is mediated by an
MicA secondarystructure and
binding
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-oxohexanoylhomoserine 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.
