            In the cell they bind to receiver proteins, which then activate gene expression in a coordinated manner. There are many natural QS systems, but only four in popular use by synthetic biologists. Some of these systems use AHLs that can activate multiple receiver systems or "crosstalk" between networks.

<h5> Styling your wiki </h5>
+
−
<p>You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.</p>
+
−
<p>While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.</p>

<h5> Wiki template information </h5>
+
−
<p>We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Judging/Pages_for_Awards/Instructions">Pages for awards</a> link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!</p>

<h5>Tips</h5>
+
−
<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
+
−
<ul>
+
−
<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
+
−
<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>
+
−
<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
+
−
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
+
−
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
+
−
<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Calendar">iGEM 2016 calendar</a> </li>
+
−
<li>Have lots of fun! </li>

<h5> Uploading pictures and files </h5>
+
−
<p> You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2016 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name. <br />
+
−
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <br><code>T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg</code>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)</p>

Diverse homoserine lactone systems for cellular communication

Our Project

Quorum sensing (QS) allows bacteria to sense the surrounding cell population density and communicate with their neighbors. They do this by producing N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), which can diffuse back into the bacteria at high concentrations. In the cell they bind to receiver proteins, which then activate gene expression in a coordinated manner. There are many natural QS systems, but only four in popular use by synthetic biologists. Some of these systems use AHLs that can activate multiple receiver systems or "crosstalk" between networks. This can cause problems when using QS in higher-level designs. Our project aims to characterize a variety of AHL networks, which will increase the number of functional QS systems with minimal crosstalk in synthetic biology.
