J23109-ttrR-PttrB185-BBa_K1033932

Usage and Biology

E. coli-codon-optimized TtrS(BBa_K2507002) and TtrR (BBa_K2507003) are two basic parts which are derived from the two-component system of the marine bacterium Shewanella baltica. TtrS is the membrane-bound sensor kinase (SK) which can sense tetrathionate outside the cell, and TtrR is the DNA-binding response regulator (RR). PttrB185-269 (BBa_K2507019) is a minimal TtrR-activated promoter which is activated when TtrR is phosphorylated by TtrS after TtrS senses tetrathionate.

Winter et al. have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the host during inflammation convert thiosulfate into tetrathionate, which this pathogen consumes to establish a beachhead for infection (Winter et al, 2010). Thus, tetrathionate may correlate with pro-inflammatory conditions and can therefore be used as a sensor for intestinal inflammation.

Characterization

We first validated that this system can function as a tetrathionate sensor and reporter in the laboratory strains Escherichia coli Top10 and E. coli<.i> Nissle 1917.

TtrS/R was tested with BBa_K2507006 integrated into the pSB4K5 backbone and BBa_K2507015 into the pSB1C3 backbone. We submitted all parts to the iGEM registry in pSB1C3.
