Description
This is a medium-strong Plac promoter. Placed before a gene, it promotes its expression. Plac is repressed by LacI.
This promoter can be used for in vivo reporter systems; its medium strength is interesting for reporter genes that have a long half-life or that are not well supported by the cell.
Notes
The biobrick sequence does include the -10 and -35 regions; however it doesn't include the ribosome binding site.
Source
This part is the UV5 Lac promoter. The UV5 mutation is a double mutation concerning the -10 region of the promoter, which makes the consensus the -10 region of E.coli (change of TATGTT to TATAAT). The -35 region is not consensus sequence: it sequence is TTTACA, when the consensus would be TTGAC. which makes it a medium strenght promoter.
