This part is used for the detection of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde sensor sequence
Usage and Biology
This protein FrmR acts as regulator of protein FrmAB. FrmA and FrmB are two proteins that are participating in the detoxication of formaldehyde in E.coli. FrmR can form DNA-protein cross-links with a special promotor PfrmAB to prevent activating downstream gene transcription. Formaldehyde is able to covalently modify protein FrmR, inhibiting its function, so when formaldehyde exists, promotor PfrmAB is capable of activating downstream gene transcription by the destruction of the promoter PfrmAB- the protein FrmR cross-link.

The sequence is composed of PfrmR, gene frmR, flag tag, PfrmAB, gene RFP. When the pathway works, we can see that the E.coli turns to red with naked eyes at the presence of formaldehyde. The fluorescence intensity of protein RFP and the depth of the color in naked eyes are both in positive correlation with the concentration of formaldehyde within the tolerable range.
