Vanillin Sensor
Overview
The vanillin receptor senses the vanillin concentration outside the cell. This information is needed to create the feedback loop to control vanillin synthesis. Under influence of vanillin, Vir A gets autophosphorylated and phosphorylates on its turn Vir G. Vir G triggers the transcription of Anti-key.
Models
Vanillin diffusion
Because VirA is a senses the vanillin concentration in the cytoplasm, we showed that the extracellular concentration equals the intracellular concentration of vanillin for all our purposes. [Image:vanillin_sensing.pdf vanillin_sensing]
