TtrS

Background

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).



Contribution

The iGEM team TU-Eindhoven 2021 further characterized the TtrS/R system by establishing a dose-response curve. Our project also consists of the two-component TtrS/R system with a different DNA sequence than noted above, however, the same amino acid sequence was used. Our TtrS/R system was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) cells for GFP and mCherry measurements. Subsequently, a small culture and a large culture were made. The GFP and mCherry concentrations were measured with a spectrophotometer and a full dose-response curve was constituted (Figure 1). On part page BBa_K3972000 more details can be found on how this dose-response curve was established.

The team of iGEM SHSBNU 2017 was not able to create such a dose-response curve. After analyzing our own results and the results of Daeffler et al.[1], we think it might be a result of overexpression of TtrR that will result in GFP expression, even though tetrathionate is not present. Corresponding to this behavior, the sensor will lose its sensitivity to tetrathionate (Figure 2 and Figure 3), as can also be seen in the results of iGEM SHSBNU. In contrast to the iGEM team SHSBNU 2017, we made use of the pLtetO-1 promoter, which is a leaky promoter. By not inducing this promoter, we are able to receive a full dose-response curve, making it sufficiently adjustable for our concept to work.
