Lrp
The Lrp is a gene encoding leucine reactive protein, which is expressed by E. coli itself. It mediates a global response to leucine. Exogenous leucine affects the expression of a number of different operons, and Lrp mediates this effect for at least some of these operons. For example, it is a regulator of the branched-chain amino acid transport genes. In our project, Lrp dimerizes with butyrate, binds to pPchA promoter, and further produces pchA.
Usage and Biology
LRP, as a component of the natural FIM system of E. coli, is a fimS regulator. Both LRP and IHF (Integrated Host factor) may act to regulate the actual inversion events through an involved DNA-binding protein complex. In addition, there is the OFF-to-ON inhibitory protein papB and many other hypothesized and known regulators that directly act on LRP. During the course of the project, the FIM system can be considered. (Additional background on FIM systems can be found in the references [1])
Experiment results
In our project, it serves as the butyrate sensor to respond to the change in butyrate concentration, thereby activating downstream gene expression. During our experiments, we wondered whether it is possible to enhance the expression of Lrp in the engineered bacteria to increase the sensitivity of the PchA promoter to butyrate.
We simultaneously introduced the pBAD33 plasmid carrying Lrp and the pet-28a plasmid containing the receptor into Escherichia coli. Bacteria that received only the receptor plasmid but not the Lrp plasmid were used as a control group. We compared the sensitivity of these two groups to butyrate sensing.
