HasI sigma factor coding sequence

Usage and Biology

HasI ia a 19 kDa protein that acts as an extra cytoplasmic function sigma factor under the Has operon system. The Has system is a heme acquisition system originally from the Serratia marcescens. This cytoplasmic protein is usually bound to the anti-sigma factor HasS and therefore is inactive. When the holo-HasA hemophore binds to the cell surface receptor HasR, it triggers a conformational change in HasS. This then releases the HasI which will then trigger expression of genes under the control of the Has promoter.

Characterisation of this part is done in tandem with the full has operon (BBa_K1897007)
