Designed by: Min An Zhao Group: iGEM22_Jilin_China (2022-10-01)
Copper sensor
The copper ion sensor part is composed of PcusC and CusSR two-component membrane associated sensor kinase system. CusSR is composed of membrane-associated histidine kinase CusS and transcription activator CusR, responsible for sensing the presence of external Cu2+. When external copper is sensed, the transmembrane structure of CusS protein undergoes a conformational change, and at the same time, autophosphorylation occurs to transmit the signal into the cell. The phosphoryl group is then transferred to the CusR protein, triggering a conformational change in CusR, and the phosphoryl group binds to a sequence in front of the PcusC promoter to turn on downstream gene expression.
