Description
The part consist of the dxs gene derived from B. subtilis under the control of the lac promoter and has a strong RBS.
To repress expression from the lac promoter, the lacI gene under a constitutive promoter, with a strong RBS and a efficient terminator is placed counter-clockwise to the reporter fusion. The repression can then be relieved with addition of IPTG, which binds and inhibits the function of LacI.
The purpose of the brick is to increase the flow through the MEP pathway upon addition of IPTG.
Notes
The lac promoter was used to enable control of the expression, since overexpression of the dxs gene has proved to lower the growth rate.
