Description
Positively regulated, OmpR-controlled promoter. This promoter is taken from the upstream region of ompC. Phosphorylated OmpR binds to the three operator sites and activates transcription.
Notes
The promoter includes the three OmpR binding sites: C1, C2, and C3. The promoter starts at -107 and goes up to the transcriptional start site at +1.
An alternate version, BBa_R0083, cuts out the C2 and C3 sites.
The efficacy of this promoter versus the truncated ompC upstream region (BBa_R0083) or the ompF upstream region (BBa_R0084) is currently unknown.
