Part:BBa_K1475008

lacI protein produced by constitutive promoter

This part is the lacI repressor controlled by a constitutively active promoter.
Please note that this part contains the lacI repressor without the LVA rapid degradation tag. The lacI+LVA bacis part can be found here: Part:BBa_C0012.

Usage and Biology

The operation of lacI repressor is inhibited by allolactose and [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IPTG IPTG (Isopropylthiogalactoside)]. IPTG is preferred because it cannot be degraded by Escherichia coli and therefore remains at a constant concentration.
