hilA transcriptional regulator

hilA, together with hilC and hilD, are global regulators and control the expression of the Salmonella pathogenicity island I (SPI-1) genes in S. typhimurium on which the SPI-1 T3SS injectisome is encoded.1 Over 25 genes that are needed for host invasion are located on the SPI-1.2 Also, hilA activates the SPI-1 operon mediated by the prg and inv promoters.3,4 Thus, hilA controls SPI-1 genes in response to enviromental needs like pH and oxygen levels.4–6
As a part of our project “TargteTaxi”, we require the SPI-1 T3SS to be present in the minicells membrane. For assembly of the SPI-1 T3SS in the minicells, we must overexpress the SPI-1 encoded genes as it has been shown previously by Carleton et al. (2013)7. The overexpression of the T3SS genes can be achieved by overexpressing its master regulator, hilA. In our bacterial strain, hilA expression is going to be regulated by the arabinose inducible promoter of Salmonella Typhimurium, allowing us to control the expression of the SPI-1 encoded genes.
