Description
The Aspergillus a-glucoamylase (GlaA) enzyme is involved in starch utilization. The glaA promoter is induced by starch, maltose, and low concentrations of glucose but repressed by xylose (1). Basal transcription of glaA requires only 214 bp upstream of the start codon, while a high-level transcription expression requires the upstream region including -562 and -318 bp in the promoter region. The glaA promoters among different Aspergillus species are conserved.

Notes
This part contains Phytobricks overhangs E and C, because this promoter includes the RBS and was the second promoter in our specific plasmid design.
Source
This part was ordered as a gBlock Gene Fragment from IDT and was assembled into the PhytoBricks Universal Acceptor (BBa_P10500). After the part was cloned, its sequence was confirmed by Sanger Sequencing.
