Description
This is the promoter of rcnA, called prcnA. It has a binding site for the regulator RcnR, which originates in E. coli. In presence of Ni(II), Ni(II) binds to RcnR, RcnR binds to the promoter and activates transcription.
Co(II) can also be a stimulus, but a weaker one.
This promoter contains the first ca. 50 nt of rcnA, and therefore is used for transcriptional fusion with genes with RBS.
Notes
This promoter contains the first ca. 50 nt of rcnA, and therefore is used for transcriptional fusion with genes with RBS. This BB can be used for measurement of Ni(II)-concentration.
Source
It originates from E.coli K12 MG 1655 gDNA.
