Description
Positively regulated, OmpR-controlled promoter. This promoter is taken from the upstream region of ompF. Phosphorylated OmpR binds to the three operator sites and activates transcription.
Notes
The promoter includes three OmpR binding sites: F1, F2, and F3. The promoter starts at -107 and goes up to the transcriptional start site at +1. A distant fourth binding site, F4, has been deleted. It is involved in negative regulation of ompF (Head, Tardy and Kenney, 1998), so its deletion is intended to make the promoter solely activating. The efficacy of this promoter versus the ompC upstream region (BBa_R0082) or the truncated ompC upstream region (BBa_R0083) is currently unknown.
