Description
The promoter of the Escherchia Coli gene rpoDPhs is an 76 nucleotide base long sequence with 4 additional nucleotide bases added to each 5' end to create sticky ends to allow for transcription. The promoter of rpoDPhs is inducible by heat shock; therefore, in the abscence of heat the promoter of rpoDPhs is inactive. When activated by the prescence of heat, the promoter of rpoDPhs will begin transcription.
Notes
We added sticky ends to the top left strand and the bottom right. See details: http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J100028
