Description
Sequence contains 3 phosphorylated CpxR binding sites and transcription is initiated by sigma factor E (24). A native sequence has been used but it has been modified to remove Spe1 restriction site.
Function: Can detect various periplasmic stresses (DegP is expressed by the cell to repair damage in the periplasm).
Area of application: Hopefully it can be used to detect presence of relevant unfolded proteins in the periplasmic space, to detect shear stress or other so far undefined relevant stress.
Notes
Detect and remove restriction sites: Xba1, EcoRI, Pst1, Spe1.
Some uncertanty about where to start and stop in the sequece. It starts 3 bp before the first CpxR binding site and ends 6 pb after the -10 box.
