Synthetic ptet-FixK2 hybrid promoter with RBS

Synthetic ptet-FixK2 hybrid promoter is a promoter wich can not only be activated by light sensors YF1-FixJ composite but also inhibited by the TetR repressor. The sequence of the upper control element is from wild type FixK2 promoter on the genomic sequence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, which contains two typical FixJ boxes. The core element region is replaced by the core element region of BBa_J23106. Additional tet operators are inserted into the core element region of promoter as second control elements which result in transcription repression. Sequence and Features

Usage and Biology

In order to test the hybrid promoters, we constructed five composite parts with mRFP gene as reporter (BBa_K19103027, BBa_K19103028, BBa_K19103029, BBa_K19103030, BBa_K19103031). These composite parts were co-transformed with the light sensor part (BBa_K19103034) into E.coli strain BL21, cultured under dark for 24h and their fluorescence was tested. We included as controls cells that only contained the Fixk2 composite parts. The results (Fig.1) illustrated that hybrid promoter BBa_K1913024 has even less fluorescence value compared to control, which suggested that this promoter does not response for being induces by FixJ.
