PpspA-CSAD-6xHis-PompA-OmpA/OprF


Description

This composite part is a component of the IFN-γ sensing system and was used to express the taurine production enzyme, CSAD.

Biology

The ompA promoter facilitates the constitutive expression of OmpA/OprF. Binding of IFN-γ to the OmpA/OprF chimeric protein induces the response of the phage shock protein (Psp) system, a highly conserved stress response system in enterobacteria[1]. Signal transduction from the outer membrane to the inner membrane activates the pspA promoter, initiating expression of CSAD. CSAD catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-Cysteine sulfinic acid into hypotaurine, which is spontaneously oxidized to taurine[2].

Usage

We ligased the PompA-ompA/oprF fragment and PpspA-csad-6xHis on the pSU expression vector and transformed it into DH5α to complete construction of the plasmid. The his-tag allows for confirmation of CSAD expression by western blot using the anti-6X his-tag antibody.

Characterization

Double digestion results are shown in Figure 2.
