Description
The ProU promoter (658 bp) was obtained from wild type K12 E. Coli Genomic DNA. Pro U controls transcription of the Pro U operon which contains three sub-units instrumental in bringing choline and proline into the cell. The promoter is most active during times of osmotic stress. Placing the proU promoter before the gene codes for red fluorescence protein with ribosomal binding site would enhance the level of red fluorescence expression under salt stress. We PCR amplified the gene proU with iGEM designated cutting sites and ribosome binding sites and biobricked it with pSB1A2.
