Description
Encodes a transcription activator for the right handed Lux promotor.
Two molecules of acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL) form a complex with two molecules of the LuxR protein. This complex then binds to a palyndromic site on the lux promoter, increasing its transcription rate. LuxI, LuxR and the right lux promoter are all derived from V. fischeri.
Notes
Biobrick BBa_C0061 still contained a Barcode sequence which was deleted. For our own use, 9 bp were exchanged to create unique restriction sites and to optimize DNA folding.
Source
Sequence is originating from V. fischeri. Here, the sequence from BBa_I0462 was used and optimized.
