TEV cleavable CpxA-eYFP[1-154]-nZIP and CpxA-eYFP[155-238]-cZIP+ araC/pBAD promoter

In order to visualize Cpx pathway activation, transmembrane signal transducing protein CpxA is fused to respectively eYFP(1-154) and N-Leucine Zipper [1] ,as well as eYFP(155-238) and C-Leucine Zipper [2]. CpxA and eYFP[1-154] /eYFP[155-238] are fused with a TEV cleavable peptide. When cotransformed with CpxR-TEV protease fusion activation of the Cpx pathway is visualized in combination with CpxA-eYFP[1-154]-N-Leucine Zipper fusion due to eYFP reassembly.

Usage and Biology

This BioBrick was used following this protocol.

Figure 1: CpxA-CpxR protein interaction visualized with different L-arabinose concentrations over time. Upon Cpx activation, eYFP-termini are cleaved off of CpxA by TEV protease and reassemble in the cytoplasm using leucine zipper's natural affinity for each other.
