E.coli codon optimized ThsS(BBa_K2507000) and ThsR(BBa_K2507001) are two basic parts which belong to the two-component system from marine Shewanella halifaxensis. ThsS is the membrane-bound sensor kinase (SK) which can sense thiosulfate outside the cell and ThsR is the DNA-binding response regulator(RR). PphsA(BBa_K2507018) is a ThsR activated promoter when ThsR is phosphorylated by ThsS after ThsS sensing thiosulfate.

Usage and Biology

ThsS (BBa_K2507000) and ThsR (BBa_K2507001), both codon-optimized for E. coli, are two basic parts which belong to the two-component system from the marine bacterium Shewanella halifaxensis. ThsS is the membrane-bound sensor kinase (SK) which can sense thiosulfate outside the cell, and ThsR is the DNA-binding response regulator(RR). PphsA(BBa_K2507018) is a ThsR-activated promoter which is turned on when ThsR is phosphorylated by ThsS after ThsS senses thiosulfate.

Because thiosulfate is an indicator of intestinal inflammation (Levitt et al, 1999; Jackson et al, 2012; Vitvitsky et al, 2015), this system can be used as a sensor for intestinal inflammation.

Characterization

After validating the system in the laboratory strains Escherichia coli Top10 and E. coli Nissle 1917, we confirmed that the system indeed works as a thiosulfate sensor, as intended. By linking thsR with sfgfp (BBa_K2507008), chromoprotein genes (BBa_K2507009, BBa_K2507010, BBa_K2507011) or the violacein producing operon vioABDE (BBa_K2507012), this system can respond to thiosulfate by producing a signal visible to the naked eye, either under normal or UV light, such as sfGFP, chromoproteins (spisPink-pink chromoprotein, gfasPurple-purple chromoprotein, amilCP-blue chromoprotein) or a dark-green small-molecule pigment (protoviolaceinic acid).
