zarp, zinc two-component relulatory system

Design Notes

Improved target: BBa_K1755301（K1755024、K1755305、K1755303）

Improved form We replaced a sensor element（Copper-Responsive Two-Component System BBa_K190017）for the Zinc-Responsive Two-Component regulatory system (contains σ54 promoter).

Mechanism of changed sensor The mechanism of Zinc sensor is related to a intrinsic signaling pathway in Ecoli. Which is known that many sensing proteins ZraS immobilized on the membrane of cell. And when Zn2+ show up in periplasmic space, the ions will combine with ZraS and trigger it autophosphorylation. (ZraS*) The phosphorylation signal will transmit from ZraS* to ZraR, then ZraR* come to ZraR(HydG) binding site[1] that will make σ54promoter start downstream transcription. (ZraS* ,ZraR* means activated condition.)

So, we substitute Zinc-Responsive Two-Component regulatory system for the copper one in BBa_K1755301. Successfully construct a new heavy metal sensor.
