- | == 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.
| + | This part of the project was cancelled, due to lack of time. You can read what our idea was on [https://2009.igem.org/Team:EPF-Lausanne/Brainstorming the brainstorming session] |
- | | + | |
- | 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]
