Description
This part encodes a promoter that is inducible by variants of the Gal4 transactivator and off otherwise.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, fluorescence from a red fluorescent protein (mKate) driven by the UAS-Gal4 promoter is very strong in the presence of constitutively produced Gal4 derivative with an attached viral VP16 transactivation domain (Gal4-VP16), and is essentially off in the absences of the Gal4-VP16 transactivator.
Notes
Not applicable.
Source
This part was synthesized to include the upstream activator sequence (UAS) from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome that binds to the Gal4 transactivator upstream of the major-late adenovirus promoter.
