Description
Promoter of gene narG from E. coli. Activated by FNR in anaerobic conditions and inactivated in aerobic conditions.
The promoter of the gene nirB is regulated by FNR. It's a class II promoter with two FNR boxes. (Scott et al, FEBS letter, 2003)
Aerobic conditions: +O2 --> FNR inactivated --> Promoter non activated / Anaerobic conditions: - O2 --> FNR activated --> Promoter activated
Notes
We conserved all the promoter region until the last nucleotide before narG ORF and approximately 100 bp before FNR boxes
