PpspA-CDO1-6xHis


Description

This composite part is a component of the IFN-γ sensing system and was used to express the taurine production enzyme, CDO1.

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 CDO1-his-tag. CDO1 converts L-cysteine into L-cysteine sulfonic acid in the taurine synthesis L-cysteine sulfinic acid pathway [2].

Usage

We ligased the cdo1-6xHis fragment and pspA promoter on the pSU expression vector and transformed it into DH5α to complete construction of the plasmid. The his-tag allows for confirmation of CDO1 expression by western blot using the anti-6X his-tag antibody.

Characterization
