a Genetic map of the pACE expression vector. repC and repA, replication genes; cat, chloramphenicol resistance gene; aguR, gene encoding the regulatory agmatine-sensor-regulator protein AguR; PaguR, aguR promoter; RBS, ribosome binding site; T1, T2 and T3, transcription terminators (ΔG = −10.3, −9.7 and −8.3 kcal/mol respectively); PaguB*, aguB agmatine-inducible promoter carrying the A > T mutation in the fifth nucleotide of the cre site; MCS, multicloning site; HisTag; C-terminal histidine tag. Representative restriction sites are indicated. b Overview of the AguR/PaguB expression system including its components and role. AguR is the transmembrane agmatine (black filled circles) sensor and response regulator that activates PaguB, thereby triggering the massive overproduction of the recombinant target protein
