Design Notes
The wild-type E. coli has an inherent regulation mechanism, which means the Pst system will be repressed if the concentration of phosphate is higher than 10-3M and it is much more difficult to find and knockout the regulator genes preciously. But we find that the mainly negative feedback regulation is through the combination between phoB protein and Upstream promoter of the PstS gene. Therefore, the Pst gene we transferred will not be controlled by this way. However, unavoidably, there may be other unknown negative feedback regulations, that is, the overexpression of Pst could minimize the effect caused by them.
