HucR binding site
It is a special DNA sequence which can interact with HucR protein and repress the expression of downstream gene when uric acid is absent. If uric acid presents, the formation of HucR-hucO complex can be reduced and restore downstream gene expression. In our design, we used the HucR-hucO system as a detector for uric acid.

This year, QHFZ-China designed a UA monitor system in E. coli (Fig. 1). Pc is a constitutive promoter, Pcp6 promoter, and it promotes the expression of HucR and YgfU. If the concentration of uric acid (UA) in environment is low, HucR will bind to hucO sequence (located in PhucR), which inhibits the expression of downstream reporter, dsRed or sfGFP. When extracellular UA is present, YgfU can transport UA into the cytoplasm, which leads HucR dissociates from hucO, and induces the fluorescent protein expression.
