Part:BBa_K2448008
PsiR from Sinorhizobium meliloti
This part is an E. coli codon optimized version of the PsiR found in Sinorhizobium meliloti (SMb20483).
Usage and Biology
PsiR is a predicted LacI family transcription factor with high affinity for D-Psicose [1]. This implies that PsiR is potentially capable of binding a consensus sequence in the promoter region and preventing transcription of the regulated promoters in the absence of D-Psicose, in a similar manner to the way LacI does in the absence of allolactose (or the synthetic IPTG).
Our team used this transcription factor together with the Sinorhizobium meliloti pPsiA or pPsiR promoters (BBa_K2448014 and BBa_K2448015) to build two Psicose biosensors (BBa_K2448030 and BBa_K2448031). The results show that PsiR behaved as predicted under and without induction.
