Description
This sequence is found upstream of several NemR regulated genes. It was created for use as a TNT-detection mechanism.
It contains the bases from X+ to the start codon, which include a promoter and RBS.
This region should allow regulation of gene preoducts through the detection of TNT. If it is not present NemR will bind to a specified sequence of bases and inhibit transcription. If TNT is not present NemR will not bind and transcription will complete.
Notes
When studied using bioinformatic databases, such as BLAST, the start codon is incorrectly labelled at position X+. The start codon is correctly positioned at the end of this sequence.

The origin of this region is Escherichia coli JD22799.
