== 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.

==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 [http://www.lgcstandards-atcc.org/LGCAdvancedCatalogueSearch/ProductDescription/tabid/1068/Default.aspx?ATCCNum=10244&Template=bacteria ATCC]
