		<h1>Overview</h1>
		<p>CopA, the principal copper effluxATPase in Escherichia coli, is induced by elevated copper in the medium.[1] CopA promoter is active in the presence of copper ion.</p>
		<h1>First experiment</h1>
		<p>We test copA promoter in BL21（DE3）, DH5α. By measuring fluorescence intensity in cells by flow cytometer，we got data to analyze sensitivity and specificity of copA promoter.</p>
		<h1>Results</h1>
		<p>In our experiment, copA promoter was induced by different concentration of copper ion (37.5umol/L, 50umol/L, 62.5umol/L, 75umol/L) . It is shown in Fig1 that fluorescence intensity in cell increase firstly and decreasewith small oscillations. At 4-5th hour fluorescence intensity in cell increases dramatically. Dose response curves was fitted to twice induction within 9 hours.CopA promoter has relative leaky basal expression (Fig 2)by comparing the negative control’s output and basal leakage of copA promoter in E. coli expression systems. In comparison of two graphs A, B, we can obviously find that the degradation of protein is much faster in DH5α than that in BL21（DE3），because BL21（DE3 ） has a deficiency of protease. . In the group of 0μmol/L Cu2+, the fluorescence shows a trend of falling firstly then rising. Actually, the fluorescence which produced by the leakage of copA will not change. The change quantity comes from the different growth periods of the E.coli.We added 40ul bacterial fluid into new medium with inductionto start measuring. So bacteria will go through a period of growing from growth period to maturation period, so as to the change of the fluorescence.Maturation period is great period for the expression of protein.</p>

		<h1>Second experiment</h1>
		<p>We placed insulator RiboJ between copA promoter and RBS.</p>

		</div>
		<h1>Result</h1>
		<p>We use 50uM copper ion to induce copA promoter (Fig 4). A device without RiboJ has an unstable Fluorescent quantity. At fourth hour, the fluorescence intensity in cells rose sharply. By contrast, adevice with RiboJ response to copper ion and express GFP gradually. In addition,a device without RiboJ has high leakage with fluctuation. However, a device with RiboJ has low and stable leakage.</p>

		<h1>Discussion</h1>
		<p>We proposed that RiboJ help reduce and control leakage of copA promoter.</p>
