TrxC promoter

==Introduction==, TrxCp is a ROS-induced promoter controlled by OxyR (transcription factor) which is activated by ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species).

An intramolecular disulfide bond between Cys199 and Cys208 will form in an OxyR transcription factor, and the active OxyR molecule will bind to the binding site of TrxCp, making the following circuit turned on. In our project: Bee. coli, we use TrxCp as the sensor of Bee. coli to sense Nosema ceranae. After Nosema ceranae enter bees' midgut, the natural immune reaction will lead to ROS release by epithelia of bees' midgut. We select several promoters that can be induced by OxyR (Part:BBa_K1104200), which are activated by ROS. One of these promoters is TrxCp.

OxyR is activator of TrxC promoter. More details about OxyR can be found on the PartRegistry page: Part:BBa_K1104200.

TrxCp

Information of TrxCp on [http://www.ecocyc.org/ECOLI/NEW-IMAGE?type=OPERON&object=TU0-3104 Ecocyc]

We get information of TrxCp from [http://www.ecocyc.org/ECOLI/NEW-IMAGE?type=OPERON&object=TU0-3104 Ecocyc],

TrxCp is regulated by σ70, and there are two TFBSs upstream for OxyR. We also did some literature study, according to the citation.

In E. coli genome, thioredoxin (trxC) will express in response to elevated H₂O₂ level. Expression of genes encoding thioredoxin (trxC) is regulated by OxyR. Oxidized OxyR binds directly to TrxCp and induces its expression.

We strimmed trxC coding out of the sequence on [http://www.ecocyc.org/ECOLI/NEW-IMAGE?type=OPERON&object=TU0-3104 Ecocyc], and only take the part including 2 OxyR TFBSs and TrxCp region.

Usage and Biology

We designed circuit fighting against Nosema ceranae. After Nosema ceranae infected midgut cells of bees, Bee. coli should sense the pathogen first before the following circuit (fighting against Nosema ceranae)is triggered, and substance such as Defensin (Part:BBa_K1104300), Abaesin (Part:BBa_K1104301) (more details on [http://2013.igem.org/Team:NYMU-Taipei/Project/Inhibition/Killing Killing Nosema] page) in the following circuit will express.

Besides, in order to enhance the strength of TrxCp, we added a device (more details on [http://2013.igem.org/Team:NYMU-Taipei/Project/Inhibition/Sensor Sensing Nosema] page).
