CzrA/ArsR(1)
CzrA/ArsR(1) is a combination of two different metal sensor systems already present in Bacillus Subtilis. It was made with the combined ArsR binding site and CadA promoter.
It is a variation of Biobrick Part:BBa_K174015[1] first proposed by Newcastle 2009 iGEM team [2] for the construction of a cadmium sensor[3] and also designed in with the combination of ArsR binding site (Part:BBa_K174016)[4] and cadA promoter (Part:BBa_K174017)[5]. The improvement made by our team is the modification of the ArsR binding site for a better repression of the promoter through steric impediment of the sigma factor binding to the -35 box.
For iGEM UNAM Genomics M??xico 2012 project [6], CzrA/ArsR(1) was used in the design of an AND logic gate[7] using a recently described new type of communication system between Bacillus Subtilis cells called Nanotubes[8]. We synthetized three alternative forms of this part: which can be found here and in (PART CzrA/ArsR-Newcastle 2009)[1]and PART CzrA/ArsR-2(UNAM_Genomics 2012)[ 9].
BIOLOGY
In B. subtilis, ArsR has been shown to de-repress arsenical stress response genes of the ars operon in response to As(III) and Sb(III) [10](Sato and Kobayashi, 1998). It also has been shown to respond to Cd(II) and Ag(I) stress[11].
ArsR/SmtB family metalloregulators negatively regulate genes involved with metal efflux [12]. Binding of inducers to one of (at least) two distinct metal binding sites triggers de-repression. ArsR negatively regulates itself, a gene of unknown function (yqcK) and genes encoding an As(III) efflux pump (arsB) and an As(V) reductase (arsC) [10,13].
CzrA (formerly YozA in Bacillus subtilis), an ArsR homolog, represses two metal efflux systems [11] which are induced in response to several metals (Zn(II), Cd(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) and weakly to Cu(II))[13]. Specifically, CzrA represses the CadA efflux ATPase and the cation diffusion facilitator CzcD. CzrA has the unusual ability to respond to both thiophilic metals and Zn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II).
