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.

 ===Usage and Biology===
-PsiR is a predicted LacI family transcription factor with high affinity for D-Psicose [1]. This means that PsiR will prevent transcription of the regulated promoters in the absence of D-Psicose by binding the consensus sequences before the Transcription Start Site.

 Our team used this transcription factor together with the ''Sinorhizobium meliloti'' pPsiA or pPsiR promoters ([[Part:BBa_K2448014|BBa_K2448014]] and [[Part:BBa_K2448015|BBa_K2448015]]) to build two Psicose biosensors ([[Part:BBa_K2448030|BBa_K2448030]] and [[Part:BBa_K2448031|BBa_K2448031]]). The results show that PsiR behaved as predicted under and without induction.
