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.

We neglect the outer membrane because the porins make the membrane permeable.
