Description
An esabox is an 18bp sequence to which the transcriptional regulator EsaR can bind. We placed one esabox right after the normally constitutive Anderson promoter [Bba_J23118] to create an EsaR repressible promoter. Transcription can be initiated by the specific AHL EsaR responds to [N-(3-oxo-hexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone].
Notes
The esabox has to be placed after the transcription start site to be able to act as a roadblock.
Source
The Anderson promoter sequences were taken form the registry.
Esabox sequence comes from the Pantoea stewartii ssp. stewartii.
