Description
This BioBrick is the N-terminal repression domain of the yeast general repressor TUP1.
In artificial systems TUP1 is used in fusion with a DNA-binding domain. This DNA-binding domain is specific for a bait sequence. So the selective repressionn of genes with a promoter containing this bait sequence can be achieved.
Notes
To enable the fusion with other domains in frame the vector of this BioBrick has no base pair in between the restriction side and the BioBrick.
