cro binding box

Cro-box is the particular fragment of phage lambda DNA which is recognized by cro repressor protein. This sequence is artificially designed (based on natural fragment of lambda phage genome) to increase the affinity for cro protein.


Usage and Biology

When this part is introduced into a sequence of elements expressed from a single promoter the binding of the Cro protein (BBa_K177009) successfully inhibits the expression of elements located downstream.

An alternative version of this sequence has also been created (BBa_K177047) which differs from this one by the binding strength of repressor proteins, Cro (BBa_K177009) and cI (BBa_C0051; BBa_K177050).
