Description
This is a copy of a strongly expressed cymR repressor under the control of a weak, constitutive
promoter. This is a modular component for circuit construction and a relatively strong cymR generator.
Notes
Note that a weak promoter was chosen in order to follow the construction design of Choi, et
al. in the 2010 paper, "A novel, versatile, and tightly regulated expression system for E. Coli
strains." Previous work by Choi and others in M. Extorquens indicated that overexpression
of cymR was potentially toxic to bacterial cells; although data concerning this toxicity is
unavailable, the researchers managed to develop a tightly expressed cymR switch by placing
cymR under the control of a weak, constitutive promoter for kanamycin resistance. As our
team was unable to clarify the origin of this sequence, we instead selected a weak, constitutive
promoter from the Anderson library.
