PpspA-CSAD-6xHis


Description

This composite part is a component of the IFN-γ sensing system and is used to express the taurine production enzyme, CSAD.

Biology

Binding of IFN-γ to the OmpA/OprF chimeric protein induces the response of the phage shock protein (Psp) system, a highly conserved stress response system in enterobacteria. [1] Signal transduction from the outer membrane to the inner membrane activates the pspA promoter, initiating expression of CSAD. CSAD catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-Cysteine sulfinic acid into hypotaurine, which is spontaneously oxidized to taurine [2].

Usage

We ligased the csad-6xHis fragment and pspA promoter on the pUC expression vector and transformed it into DH5α to complete construction of the plasmid. The 6xHis allows for confirmation of CSAD expression by western blot using the anti-6xHis antibody.

Characterization
