Description
This part contains the palindromic binding site for the protein MLC encoded by the gene dgsA, a gene native to E. coli. Specifically, MLC is a repressor regulator for many phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate phosphotransferase systems (PTSs). In this part, the binding site is found upstream of the base promoter used for construction, BBa_J23119.
Notes
One issue to consider was where to place the MLC binding site and what strength promoter to use as a base. This was solved by creating multiple variants of the promorer (MLC1-4).
