The BphP / PpsR system
PpsR1 is a redox sensitive activator. It binds DNA under anaerobic conditions, and forms a tetramer via a disulfide bond. This interaction is ablated in the mutant PpsR1-C429S; meaning that we should be able to mimic an anaerobic system even under aerobic conditions.
PpsR2 is a transcriptional repressor, regulated by BphP.
PpsR1 and PpsR2 bind to TGTN_12ACA possibly arranged in tandem with a 7 base spacer. The affinity for both PpsRs are around 100nM.
BphP (or BrBphP for the Bradyrhizobium variant) is sensitive to far-red light (~770nm) and controls PpsR1.
For more info, see [1].
Similar constituents could possibly be derived from R. Palustris as well with the following model derived from [2]:
To find
- Define genetic circuit Template:Green
- Look for exact wavelength for the corresponding light receptor Basile
- Sequences of the genes involved in the pathway (minimal genes to => Pubmed)
ORS278 BrBphP genomic sequence
ORS278 PpsR1 genomic sequence
ORS278 PpsR2 genomic sequence
ORS278 PpsR2-C429S protein sequence
Implementation
There are two modes in which we can use the system. The minimal complement requires PpsR2 and its regulator BphP. We can generate a hybrid system that uses a well known activator or transcription or a constitutively active promoter which will be repressed via PpsR2 upon exposure to far-red light (770nm).
It is also possible to reconstitute the entire system including PpsR1-C429S, which will serve as the activator and will be de-coupled from the oxidative state of the cell due to the ablation of the disulfide bond formation.
To do
- contact Eric Giraud (giraud@mpl.ird.fr) and ask if he could send us the following material:
- Bradyrhizobium ORS278
- The following plasmids:
- pBAD::ppsR1
- pBAD::ppsR2
- pGEM-T::ppsR2/BrbphP
- the PpsR1-C429S construct
Found
- Bacterium: Bradyrhizobium can be ordered on ATCC
