Description
Promoter of the yqjF gene, which is activated by the presence of several nitrogen-based compounds such as 2,4,6-TNT, 2,4-DNT and 1,3-DNB. mKate2 is a far-red fluorescent protein used with reporting purposes. mKate2 codon usage is optimised for high expression in mammalian cells (humanised). It is, nevertheless, suitable for propagation in E. coli.
This construct is, then, designed to be able to detect and quantify the presence of compunds such as 2,4,6-TNT, 2,4-DNT and 1,3-DNB.
Notes
The yqjF promoter carries 4 point mutations to improve its response in front of 2,4,6-TNT and 2,4-DNT
