PsspB-gerAa

This part expresses in B.subsilis to increase the germinability of the spore.

Usage and Biology

This part，PsspB-gerAa (BBa_K2232020)，consisting mainly of the PsspB promoter followed by the first 303bp of the gerA gene, plays the role as Responder in the germination of spores. The gerA from Bacillus subtilis encodes the spore’s germinant receptor for L-alanine. Overexpression of this gene will increase markedly the rate of germination of B. subtilis spores even at low L-alanine concentration. The promoter for the B.subtilis sspB gene (PsspB) is stronger than the endogenous gerA promoter, and only switch on the transcription after the initiation of sporulation. Since B.subtilis exhibits accurate and efficient homologous recombination, a single cross-over event between the gerAa region in the BioBrick and the endogenous gerA sequence inserts the PsspB promoter upstream of the gerA cds, which increases the germination rate of Bacillus subtilis endospores eventually.
