Sequences BBa_M36921_sequence (Version 1)

Description

This composite part contains a promoter and ribosome-binding-site, a gene for ZntR, a terminator, and a promoter for ZntA. In the absence of Zinc, the ZntR protein binds to the ZntA binding site. In the presence of zinc, ZntR undergoes a conformation, does not attach to the binding site, and allows for transcription of ZntA. Essentially, this part acts as a sensor for the presence of zinc.

Notes

We had to enter silent mutations to change the DNA sequence without affecting the amino acid sequence because there were palindromes greater than 10 bp in every basic part.

Source

The genomic sequence comes from parts of an E. Coli protein (ZntR).
