Description
BBa_K1819008 construction indicates lactose promoter (pLac) efficiency to control a TetR promoter inhibited by TetR protein. This circuit was used to verify a kill switch mechanism (See more details in Brasil-USP team wiki)
In the absence of pLac inductor (Lactose or IPTG), RFP will be constitutively expressed under TetR promoter control. If inducer is added, TetR promoter is repressed and, consequently, RFP expression ceases and GFP expression starts.
Notes
Two different fluorescent protein, GFP and RFP, were chosen to detect expression variation considering their emission and excitation wavelength to avoid spectra superposition.
