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 Brayrhizobium variant) is sensitive to far-red light (~770nm) and controls PpsR1.

To find

- Define genetic circuit
- Look for exact wavelength for the corresponding light receptor Basile
- Sequences of the genes involved in the pathway (minimal genes to => Pubmed)


To do

- Contact paper's authors

Found

- Bacterium: Bradyrhizobium can be ordered on ATTC
