PmrA from Salmonella enterica
Transcriptional factor PmrA takes part in iron (III) binding in Salmonella enterica. Upon phosphorylation by PmrB it binds to pmrC promoter and induces expression of chemotaxis protein CheZ.

Usage and Biology
The PmrCAB of Salmonella is a system that can be stimulated and induced by exogenous metal ions. The main functions are executed by three parts, the transmembrane protein PmrB, the intracellular protein PmrA, and the promoter PmrC. In wild-type Salmonella, it can adsorbs extracellular Fe3+, and phosphorylates protein PmrA. Then the phosphorylated PmrA will bind on the promoter PmrC to initiate expression.
The expression product of PmrA is an intracellular protein which can be actived during phosphorylation by protein kinase at the C-terminus of PmrB. Phosphorylated PmrA is able to bind on the promoter PmrC and initiate its downstream genes’ expression.
SDS-PAGE
The target protein located around 26-30kDa, similar the theoretical 26.87kDa. PmrA could be confirmed as successfully expressed. The concentration of E. coli total protein is so high that huge amount of impure protein is included during elution. But due to difference from impure or permeate bands, its consistency among several times of elution, this band could be verified as our target PmrA.
