Depositor Comments

Please note- The numbering system used was for the mature natural wild-type PstS protein. The plasmid produces an extra N-terminal methionine so all mutations will be off by 1nt (e.g., A197C =A198C)

PstS ORF encoding the mature E. coli (A17C, I76G, A197C)PstS protein (PBPw) containing a stop codon at the end of the gene in pET22b (inserted between Nde1 and Xho1 sites in the MCS).

Expression produces MEA at the N-terminus of the mature PstS: So there is an extra M at the N-terminus over the natural, mature PstS. A stop codon was also added at the end of the sequence BEFORE the plasmid-derived His tag. This gives PLY at the C-terminus at the C-terminus of the expressed protein, as in the natural PstS. The amino-acid numbering has been left as based on positions in the natural, mature protein.

Usage
The expressed protein is a weak-binding variant of E. coli phosphate binding protein, PstS. It contains two cysteines (A17C, A197C) and a mutation to weaken binding (I76G). The gene encodes the mature protein without the N-terminal signal peptide, but with an N-terminal methionine. Subsequently the cysteines are labeled with 2 6-iodoactemidotetramethylrhodamines per molecule. This adduct is then used as a phosphate biosensor, having up to 9-fold fluorescence intensity increase on binding inorganic phosphate, with a low dissociation constant so inorganic phosphate can be measured in the tens of micromolar range.
