Description
Positively regulated, OmpR-controlled promoter. This promoter is derived from the upstream region of ompC. Phosphorylated OmpR binds to the operator site and activates transcription. This is a truncated version of BBa_R0082.
Notes
The promoter deletes the C2 and C3 regions of BBa_R0082 (bases 37-74 in BBa_R0082) and inserts an 8-base linker before the -35 and -10 signal region. The efficacy of this promoter versus the full ompC upstream region (BBa_R0082) or the ompF upstream region (BBa_R0084) is currently unknown.
The a at base 41 is mutated to t to avoid XbaI
site. Speculation that this was a previous assembly site.
