Description
Promoter from E. coli that controls the FepA gene, involved in iron uptake and iron sensitive.
FUR (Ferric Uptake Regulation) is a transcriptional repressor of genes involved in iron homeostasis. In presence of iron, the FUR protein changes its conformation and dimerizes. This leads to the binding to the DNA on a FUR binding site, thus inhibiting the mRNA transcription.
Why would you use this part?
This part allows the characterization of the FepA promoter region thanks to the sfGFP downstream.
Notes
None.
