PpspA-CS


Description

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

Biology

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 cs fragment and pspA promoter on the pSU expression vector and transformed it into DH5α to complete construction of the plasmid.

Characterization
