Description
actClone Red is a construct we designed to allow students and researchers to investigate the OmpR promoter. The RFP reporter system in actClone provides phenotypic evidence of the action of the OmpR promoter for the transcription of RFP. This construct uses the wild type OmpR promoter sequence. Researchers can manipulate this sequence by mutating, inserting, or deleting bases. They can then compare RFP expression in their new constructs to RFP expression using the wild-type promoter sequence (R0082). This will allow researchers and biology students to explore sequence requirements for the interactions between the OmpR promoter and phosphorylated OmpR regulatory protein.
Notes
None
Source
This part can be constructed by ligating the first 70 bp of the 5' end of the OmpR promoter (R0082) promoter into actClone (J100204) following BsaI digestion.
