Description
This is the tryptophan-Repressor, which represses the tryptophan-promoter (BBa_J119124), when tryptophan has reached a high enough concentration in the cell.
Designed to be part of a selection module for optimization of the tryptophan operon, its intended function is to down-regulate or entirely shut off a gene promoted by the Ptrp, said gene having a negative effect on the cell in some way.
