Designed by: Yiannis Kaznessis   Group: iGEM08_Minnesota   (2008-10-27)

Dually repressed promoter with sites for TetR and P22MNT binding

Dual tetR/p22mnt promoter, RBS, GFP, terminator. This biobrick was constructed by digesting dual promoter tet/p22mnt with EcoRI and SpeI restriction enzymes, and ligating it to XbaI and PstI digested reporter (E0240), and Eco RI and PstI digested pSB3K3. It was used for the measurement of promoter strenghth.

The device has a dual promoter which is repressed by tetR and p22mnt. The input is aTc and output is fluorescence as gene for GFP is cloned downstream to the dually repressed promoter. Fluorescence was measured with different inducer amount (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2 mM IPTG). Promoter activity was found to be maximum after 3 hours of induction by 100 ng/ml aTc.

Input: 50, 100, 150 and 200 ng/ml aTc

Output: Green Fluorescence (501-520 nm)
