PxpsR

Promoter of xpsR (PxpsR) that responds to the Quorum Sensing signal 3 OH-PAME especific of Ralstonia solanacearum.

Usage and Biology

The product of this gene is an integrator signal that regulates the expression of several virulence factors in Ralstonia solanacearum. One of the signals that XpsR integrates is phcA which is involved in the Quorum Sensing mediated by 3 OH-PAME exclusive of R. solanacearum. Therefore expression of genes regulated by phcA like XpsR may be correlated with threshold concentrations of 3 OH-PAME. We designed primers to amplify the upstream region of xpsR gene including the two binding boxes of phcA, the -35 and -10 conserved boxes and excluding the native RBS).
