Description
This part encodes a promoter that is moderately inducible by the CI434-VP16 transactivator and constitutively off otherwise.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2 below, induction with the CI434-VP16 transactivator results in marked increase in fluorescence from a construct containing a red fluorescent protein (mKate) driven by the minCMV-1xCI434 promoter.
Notes
This particular promoter has a propensity to mutate in cells that are not exceptionally recombination-deficient, and caution should be taken in producing both entry and expression vectors using this part.
Source
This promoter is a synthetic construct composed of the minimal sequence required for transcription from the immediate-early cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter preceded by a binding site for the CI434 protein adapted from bacteriophage 434.
