Description
This is a natural promoter from Pseudomonasp.DJ-12 activated by a series of aromatic compunds such as biphenyl,
4-chlorobiphenyl, 4-hydroxybiphenyl etl. It initiates transcrption of downstream genes pcbD and pcbC in DJ-12 when exposing to certain concentration of armotic pollutants.
We implement this promoter as a sensor with a reporter gene fusion downstream to detect PCB related pollutant compounds.
Notes
this promoter is directly synthesised in Geneart Corp
Source
This promoter is from genome of Pseudomonasp.DJ-12.
