Usage and Biology
E. coli-codon-optimized TtrS(BBa_K2507002) and TtrR (BBa_K2507003) are two basic parts which are derived from the two-component system of the marine bacterium Shewanella baltica. TtrS is the membrane-bound sensor kinase (SK) which can sense tetrathionate outside the cell, and TtrR is the DNA-binding response regulator (RR). PttrB185-269 (BBa_K2507019) is a minimal TtrR-activated promoter which is activated when TtrR is phosphorylated by TtrS after TtrS senses tetrathionate.
Winter et al. have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the host during inflammation convert thiosulfate into tetrathionate, which this pathogen consumes to establish a beachhead for infection (Winter et al, 2010). Thus, tetrathionate may correlate with pro-inflammatory conditions and can therefore be used as a sensor for intestinal inflammation.

Characterization
After validate this system in laboratory Escherichia coli Top10 and E.coli Nissle 1917, this system can function as a tetrathionate sensor and reporter.
