Özet
The two‐component system TmoS/TmoT controls the expression of the toluene‐4‐monooxygenase pathway in Pseudomonas mendocina RK1 via modulation of PtmoX activity. The TmoS/TmoT system belongs to the family of TodS/TodT like proteins. The sensor kinase TmoS is a 108 kDa protein composed of seven different domains. Using isothermal titration calorimetry we show that purified TmoS binds a wide range of aromatic compounds with high affinities. Tightest ligand binding was observed for toluene (KD = 150 nM), which corresponds to the highest affinity measured between an effector and a sensor kinase. Other compounds with affinities in the nanomolar range include benzene, the 3 xylene isomers, styrene, nitrobenzene or p‐chlorotoluene. We demonstrate that only part of the ligands that bind to TmoS increase protein autophosphorylation in vitro and consequently pathway expression in vivo …
