Description
The product of this gene is a phosphodiesterase which is involved in regulating the levels of c-di-GMP, a bacterial signaling molecule. High levels of c-di-GMP promote biofilm synthesis and inhibit flagella by binding to YcgR which then acts as a "brake" on FliG and FliM. Levels of c-di-GMP are elevated and motility is reduced in
yhjH-mutants.
Here we used 3 different constitutive
Anderson promoters from the 2006 Berkeley group to test how different levels of constitutive
yhjH expression affect the motility of
E. coli.
Notes
- yhjH was amplified from genomic DNA of E. coli DH10B via PCR using the following primers:
- Fwd: 5'-gtttcttcgaattcgcggccgcttctagatgataaggcaggttatccagc-3'
- Rev: 5'-gtttcttcctgcagcggccgctactagtattatagcgccagaaccgccgtattcagc-3'
Source
- yhjH was amplified from genomic DNA of E. coli str. K-12 substr. DH10B, complete genome (CP000948.1).
- J23100 information was taken from the partsregistry and physical DNA from the 2012 distribution kit.
