Promoter (luxR & HSL regulated -- lux pR)
| Types | DnaRegion |
| Roles | Regulatory promoter |
| Sequences | BBa_R0062_sequence (Version 1) |
Description
Promoter activated by LuxR in concert with HSLThe lux cassette of V. fischeri contains a left and a right promoter. The right promoter gives weak constitutive expression of downstream genes.This expression is up-regulated by the action of the LuxR activator protein complexed with the autoinducer, 3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules of the signalling compound homoserine lactone (HSL). This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.
Notes
This promoter is based on the Vibrio fischeri quorum sensing gene promoters. Two genes LuxI and LuxR and transcribed in opposite directions as shown below. The original sequence from which the parts
