Description
This part encodes an inducible promoter that can be activated by tTA/rtTA transactivator variants in the presence of tetracycline analogues and can be repressed by variants of the LacI transcriptional repressor.
Notes
Not applicable.
Source
This part is a synthetic promoter formed from the minimal transcriptional sequence necessary for the immediate-early cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, a LacOid operator that has been computationally shown to bind to the LacI repressor protein more tightly than the wildtype LacO operator, and six tetracycline response elements (TREs) isolated from Escherichia coli.
