Description
(Chassis B. subtilis, carrier plasmid pSBBS0K)
Length: 6843 bp
Background:
pNagP is the promoter of the NagP gene, which expresses a transporter of N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate in Bacillus subtilis (http://www.biocyc.org/gene?orgid=BSUB&id=BSU07700).
This BioBrick is a part developed by the Toulouse 2016 iGEM team (http://2016.igem.org/Team:Toulouse_France)
Notes
The BBa_K1937006 part was designed to demonstrate the induction of pNagP by NAG. It belongs tothe antifungal module in the Paleolitis project of iGEM Toulouse 2016 (http://2016.igem.org/Team:Toulouse_France).
The part include the pNagP promoter and its RBS (position 840,455 to 840,656 of the Bacillus genome). The promoter controls the expression of the RFP fluorescent reporter gene. A NheI restriction site has been placed before the RFP ORF to facilitate promoter swapping. This part is a subcloning of BBa_K1937005 pNagP part in pSBBS0K_mini plasmid (BBa_K1937001).

In bacillus subtilis, this promoter has been reported to induce expression in presence of N-acetylglucosamine 6-phosphate (Bertram et al., 2011: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21602348). This NAG molecule is the major component of chitin, a characteristic molecule of fungi.
