Description
This is the promoter region of the Escherichia coli chromosomal ars promoter. It is repressed by ArsR in the absence of arsenate or arsenite (Cai, J., and DuBow, M.S. 1996. Expression of the Escherichia coli chromosomal ars operon. Canadian Journal of Microbiology 42, 662-671; Diorio, C., Cai, J., Marmor, J., Shinder, R., and DuBow, M.S. 1995. An Escherichia coli chromosomal ars operon homolog is functional in arsenic detoxification and is conserved in Gram negative bacteria. Journal of Bacteriology 177, 2050-2056).
Notes
No modifications were made to the sequence. There appears to be an unexpected repeat of ACT immediately before the SpeI site. This does not affect the biobrick suffix but means that the suffix is 5 bases downstream of the annotated transcriptional start site rather than 2 as recommended. The reason for this is unclear.
