Fatty acid responsive repression system
The intake of a fatty meal increases the fatty acid availability within the body and therefore their metabolite Acyl-CoA will increase. Long chain Acyl-CoA will bind constitutively expressed FadR and hence inhibits its activity (Feng et al. 2012). FadR is the repressor of the promoter pFad, which regulates the expression of the LsrR repressor, which itself represses the the pLsrR promoter (Federle et al. 2009) regulating the transcription of the plasmid self targeting array.
This part represents the whole composite part of the regulatory system used by iGEM Team Tuebingen 2019.
Background
If the bacterium leaves the body, there will be no fatty acids (Acyl-CoA) available. This allows the activity of FadR, which inhibits pFad. Thus, there will be no LsrR and the self targeting array is active. If the self targeting array of the plasmid is active, the Cas3 complex can use it to target the plasmid and degrade it, inducing the degradation of the foreign DNA.
Usage and Biology
The FadR expression system of E.Coli senses Acyl-CoA and activates fatty acid transport genes in vivo (Feng et al. 2012).
