Signaling module

The signaling module allows our bacterial strain to integrate the input signal = the pathogene presence.

Stapylococcus aureus secrete a protease nom de la protéase which cut a specific amino-acids sequence. This specific sequence can be used as a linker between a membrane protein and a dipeptide.
Once S. aureus is present, the linker is cut by the protease and the dipeptide is released.

The dipeptide bind to his receptor which is an engineered receptor:
  • the extracellular part is the extracellular part of Tap, a dipeptide receptor involved in the chemotaxism
  • the intracellular part is the intracellular part of EnvZ, a kinase involved in the osmoregulation

Once the dipeptide is bound, the EnvZ part allows the phosphorylation of OmpR, a transcriptional activator.

Amplification module

The amplification module allows out bacterial strain to amplify the input signal and to produce an output signal = fluorescence.

Once OmpR is phosphorylated, it can allows the production of adenyl cyclase by activate the OmpC promotor.
