Description
this piece of DNA contains a "dead" part of coding region for AraC, and a functional Operator2 site. when attached to the rest of the promoter region, this part allows for the binding and loop formation that would result in repression of the araC promoter
Notes
1) changed ATG start codon to TAG stop
2) 6 random deletions upstream of putative araC binding sites to preserve spacing for loop back (BB ends will add 6 base pairs); spacing crucial in matching up O2 and I2 binding sites (turns of DNA helix)
3) designed to attach to R0080 to enable all (positive and negative) regulatory functions, and to form "loop back"
