FunsTF18

FunsTF18 is a synthetic transcription factor (sTF). FunsTF18 should initiate the transcription through the 6xLexO minimal promoter. This sTF is the sensing part of the biosensor. FunsTF18 is a fusion protein consisting of the DNA-binding domain: lexA, ligand sensing domain: HbaR12, transactivation domain; B112 and the nuclear localization signal (NLS) SV40. The linker between LexA and HbaR was the same as sBAD (SL) (Castaño-Cerezo et. al (2020)). LexA is a repressor that regulates the SOS response in E. coli (Radman. 1975). LexA binds to a specific DNA motif, lexO (Erill. et al (2003)), and it is the DNA binding domain that interacts with LexO that is used in FunsTF18. HbaR is a transcriptional factor from Rhodopseudomonas palustris that initiates transcription in the presence of benzoic acid or in the presence of benzoic acid derivatives (Egland.
