Description
This part can be used to characterize
BBa_R0011 hybrid promoter using GFP as reporter gene.
The hybrid lac promoter (
BBa_R0011), has been designed taking the Plambda promoter (
BBa_R0051) and substituting its cI (
BBa_C0051) binding sites with two lacI binding sites.
This promoter can be repressed by lacI (
BBa_C0012), which can be repressed by lactose or IPTG. Differently from wild type lac promoter, this part does not have any CAP binding sites, so its behaviour is glucose-independent.
Strains bearing a genomic copy of lacI can repress this promoter, which acts as a glucose-independent lactose/IPTG sensor. In the other strains
BBa_R0011 acts as a constitutive promoter.
Notes
We used BioBrick Standard Assembly.
