Arg box

It is the arginine operator capable of binding ArgR, the common repressor of arginine biosynthetic genes. The introduction of the sequence into a high-copy number plasmid is suspected to titrate the repressor and disinhibit L-arginine production.

Usage and Biology

This Biobrick could be introduced into a high-copy number plasmid to titrate the repressor away from the regulatory sequences of L-arginine biosynthetic genes in order to enhance L-arginine biosynthesis.
