Rho

Oxygen Control System: PrrA/PrrB two component regulation system!


Under high oxygen tension, the system remains inactive, when oxygen concentration decreases PrrB (kinase sensor) activates itself through an autophosphorylation mediated by the electron flux from the electron transport chain through PrrC. Then PrrB transfers the phosphate group to PrrA response regulator that binds the promoter sequence and recruits the RNA polymerase for promoting GFP transcription. (See the next video for a visual explanation).


Our biobricks

The first biobrick consists in the complete oxygen dependent system, PrrA, PrrB and PrrC, each one with a Ribosome Binding Site, under a Medium strength promoter (J23104), this first biobrick also it has the PrrA dependent promoter and GFP as a reporter gene

rodo04


The second biobrick is just the PrrA dependent promoter and GFP as a reporter gene.

We were inspired in:

This system is inspired in PrrBCA two component system from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, which is a master regulator involved in expression of approximately 850 genes, >20% of the genome (Kaplan & Eraso 2005) This system coordinately controls genes involved in the complex switch between aerobic and anaerobic conditions and the optimum use of reducing power. It also regulates gene expression involved in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide fixation, nitrogen fixation, hydrogen uptake, aerotaxis, denitrification, electron transport, aerobic and anaerobic respiration, and heme biosynthesis, and others. Thus emphasizing its global role (Elsen et.al 2004, Kaplan & Eraso 2005, Zeilstra-Ryalls & Kaplan 2004).
