TorR
The torR gene of Escherichia coli encodes a 25kD response regulator protein involved in the expression regulation of the trimethylamine N-oxide reductase genes, which are regulated by torCAD operon. The torR gene is located just upstream of the torCAD operon, with an opposite transcription direction. The torR-torCAD intergenic region is unusual in that it contains four direct repeats of a 10-nucleotide motif. Part or all of these motifs could be involved in the binding of TorR protein. TorR only mediate the TMAO induction.

This part contains the CcpAx protein, also known as ORF-2, encoded by ccpax gene, functions as a mediator of protein-protein interactions and is important for localization of the bacterial cellulose synthase complex to the cell membrane in Gluconacetobacter xylinus. CcpAx gene, containing 936bp, was amplified using PCR method, and then inserted into the vector pSB1C3. The identification result is showed in Fig.1.
