Description
This part is a subset of the ars operon, which consists of a promoter and 5 genes: arsR, arsD, arsA, arsB, and arsC. arsR is a protein that represses the transcription of the ars operon; when bound to arsenic the protein arsR no longer represses the operon and operon is transcribed. The arsD, arsA, arsB, and arsC encode proteins that give E. Coli arsenic resistance. This part consists of only the promoter and the arsR protein-encoding region to be used as an arsenic sensor.
