Description
This part is a modified version of hyper-spank promoter for B.subtilisPromoter Design
The position and sequence of LacI binding was designed using existing knowledge. The stochastic nature of transcriptional repressors usually leads to background transcription. In order to minimise background the binding sites and the distance between them have been optimised.
Stronger binding
The natural LacI operator has 3 binding sites, all of which have variations in the binding sequences. Perfectly symmetric binding sequence was shown to have10-fold higher binding compared to wild type sequences. The aattgtgagc gctcacaatt sequence has been shown to be optimal for LacI binding Muller 1996 Oehler 1994.
Optimal distance
Due to the tetrameric nature of LacI it can simulataneously bind to multiple regions in the genome. Binding at multple sites can produce much stronger repression (muller 1996) by increasing local LacI concentrations. Due to the helical nature of DNA the distance between the operator sites plays an important role in the strength of repression. Maximal repression at 70.5bp, second strongest at 92.5bp and third at 115.5bp
Notes
Designed for minimal basal transcription by altering the LacI binding site sequence and distance between them.Source
