PpspA-CSAD-PlacI-OmpA/OprF


Description

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

Biology

The LacI promoter facilitates the constitutive expression of OmpA/OprF. 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 PlacI-ompA/oprF fragment and PpspA-csad on the pSU expression vector and transformed it into DH5α to complete construction of the plasmid.

Characterization

Double digestion results are shown in Fig. 2.
