In Professor Sun’s guest lecture, he discusses the usefulness of using quorum-sensing and the applications it has to determining cell density, diffusion and efficiency. 1upg is a system that is controlled by quorum-sensing, working to relocate plasmids containing tumor-inducers into the protein. By transferring these plasmids to 1upg, it allows the ‘bacteria to synchronize infection’ when the sensing cells have become involved. 1upg is comprised of a 2-chain structure, and has a cluster of 3 ligand sites within the protein. When a look is taken at the backbone structure, we see that very little of the molecule disappears, showing us that the structure is fairly simple and not complex.
