Description

This part was made in order to transfer the S. aureus oligopeptide-based quorum sensing system into a BioBrick-compatible signalling mechanism.

In the natural system, the signalling oligopeptide (termed AIP) is made from AgrD by the membrane-located enzyme AgrB. It is then detected by the membrane-located AgrC, which phosphorylates AgrA which then has DNA-binding activity and upregulates transcription of the promoters termed P2 and P3 in the agr locus. There are four known variants of AIP with different molecular structures and cross-inhibitory activity; this BioBrick generates group I AIP.

In this part, the AIP generating part I746001 is combined with the permeability device, I746201, so that the AIP produced is able to leave the periplasm of the cell.
