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 Tú
- Look for exact wavelength for the corresponding light receptor Basile
- Sequences of the genes involved in the pathway (minimal genes to => [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Pubmed]) Tú
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
- 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 ATTC]
