Description
Our part is the Shynechococcus elongatus promoter PsbA, which in nature downregulates the expression for the Photosystem I components. This promoter works on a constitutive way, althought its activity can be enhanced or decreased in the presence or absence of light (in nature it works regulated in a circadian cicle). This part is suitable for building light-induced devices.
Notes
No special design consideration were taken during the biobrick designing. At any moment was necesarry because this fragment has no tarqet sequences for the standard restriction enzymes used and recomended by the parts registry.
Source
The sequence of this part comes from the AM 2195 plasmid developed by doctor Susan Golden.
