PapR
PapR encodes a signal peptide. The sequence of mature PapR signal peptide is ADVPFEL. PapR binds to the transcription factor PlcR. This part is also an improvement of the part (BBa_K354001).

Plasmid construction
We used PCR to produce PapR gene fragment.
Then we inserted this gene to plasmid pSB1C3. We transformed this plasmid (one contains gene PapR) into strain DH5α (E. coli). Then we picked some colonies for cultivation and extracted the plasmid, which was verified by PCR and sequencing. From the result of electrophoresis, we confirmed the construction of pSB1C3-PapR was succeeded.
Biological function
B. cereus. cause acute diarrheal disease by the production and secretion of a variety of hemolysins, phospholipases, and toxins. The production of virulence factors is controlled by the PlcR-PapR QS system. PapR is 48 amino acids long and contains an N-terminal signal peptide that targets it for secretion. Outside the cell, the PapR pro-AIP is processed by the secreted neutral protease B (NprB) to form the active AIP. The mature PapR oligopeptide sequence is ADVPFEL.Inside the cell, PapR binds to the transcription factor PlcR, and this causes conformational changes in the DNA-binding domain of PlcR, facilitates PlcR oligomerization, DNA binding, and regulation of transcription.
Figure 1. PlcR activation Model, cited from reference [1].
Design
To develop a synthetic QS system in B. subtilis for target gene autoinduction, we are going to combine the expression of PlcR and PapR components.
Figure 2. The design of PlcR-PapR based autoinduction system
Furthermore, we will develop a synthetic communication pathway between B. subtilis strains by co-culturing PapR-producing “sender” cells with PlcR-sensing “receiver” cells to induce gene expression.
