Experimental Process

Beta-gal assays showed that LasR requires the identified sites for activation. Sites identified from previously published sources.

Gene Regulation

Regulated genes for each binding site are displayed below. Gene regulation diagrams show binding sites, positively-regulated genes, negatively-regulated genes, both positively and negatively regulated genes, genes with unspecified type of regulation. For each indvidual site, experimental techniques used to determine the site are also given.

Site sequence	Regulated genes	Experimental techniques	TF function	TF type
CTGTGCCCACGACCAG	rhlR,	Experimental technique details Beta-gal reporter assay Beta-gal reporter assay Reporter assay using the beta-galactosidase (lacZ) gene. The lacZ gene is typically fused to the promoter of interest. Differential regulation of the promoter mediated by the TF is assessed by induction of the system and evaluation of lacZ expression. Bacteria expressing lacZ appear blue when grown on a X-gal medium. The assay is often performed using a plasmid borne construction on a lacZ(def) strain. - Experimental technique details Consensus search (ECO:0005624) Consensus search - ECO:0005624 This is a weak form of in-silico search, in which the consensus sequence for the motif is compared to genomic positions and the number of mismatches (between candidate site and consensus) is used as a measure of site-quality. -	activator	not specified
