PcomAB, a CSP inducible promoter derived from Streptococcus pneumoniae

CSP-depending promoter of Streptococcus pneumoniae (R6). This regulatory site has been shown to trigger ComE dependent expression in S. pneumoniae [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=comE%2FcomE~P+interplay].

CSP, a 17 amino acids long peptide pheromone, binds to and consequently activates the membrane-embedded sensor kinase ComD by changing the conformation of the polytopic kinase. ComD autophosphorylates and subsequently transphosphorylates the cognate response regulator ComE. ComE acts as transcription activator via binding to -10 promoters regions of early and late competence genes. These ComE binding sites (CEbs) consist of a 9 bp direct repeat separated by a stretch of 12 nucleotides [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23216914 (Martin et al. 2013)]. BBa_K1351024 is another BioBrick containing comC promoter of S. pneumoniae with an other CEbs.

This part was generated with the RFC10 standard and has the following prefix and suffix:

prefix with EcoRI, NotI and XbaI: GAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAGAG
suffix with SpeI, NotI and PstI: TACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAG

Sites of restriction enzymes generating compatible overhangs have the same color: EcoRI and PstI in blue, NotI in green, XbaI and SpeI in red.
