Description
The position 5 mutated promoter lux pR-5 is a product of site-directed mutagenesis of promoter lux pR (BBa_R0062). The promoter lux pR is based on the Vibrio fischeri quorum sensing gene promoters. The position 5 mutated promoter lux pR-5 gives a higher expression of downstream genes in an autoinduction system. In another word, the lux pR-5 has a higher efficiency than the lux pR. Similar to promoter lux pR, the expression is up-regulated by the action of LuxR protein combined with the signal molecule HSL.
Notes
By PCR method the G residue of position 5 was changed to a C based on the sequence of the promoter lux pR(BBa_R0062).
