Description
One promoter K190015, Promoter arsRp is associated with the dimer of ArsR for the arsenic induced transcription of genes involved in arsenic efflux (arsR, arsB and arsC, which is present on the genome of Escherichia coli str. K-12 substrain MG1655). The sequence shows the typical -10 and -35 region of the promoter and can be found through the following link. A second region, located at -41.5 from the transcription start site, is thought to bind dimeric ArsR. Upon binding of arsenic, the dimer dissociates and allows the RNA polymerase space to attach itself, and can also be found in the same link. K190015 is attached to reports J45119, it takes as input a transcriptional signal (PoPS) and produce as output the BMST1 enzyme that catalyzes production of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid. Methyl salicylate has a wintergreen smell. A second promoter K190015 is attached to the reporter E0840,takes as input a transcriptional signal (PoPS) and produce as output the fluorescent protein GFP. In the presents of arsenic, this part creates Green Flourescent Protien and Wintergreen smell.
