By combining multiple operator sites in a promoter region, a “hybrid promoter” can be created that responds to multiple input signals. This creates a logic transcriptional AND gate, of which the dynamic range can be further tuned by changing -35 and -10 sites. This E. coli promoter, Plux/lac, was developed by Chen et al. (2018) [1] and contains operator sites for LacI repression and LuxR activation. Transcription is fully activated when LacI is absent and LuxR is present. Different -10 sites “E” and “F” influence the transcription rate when only one of the two input signals is present (Figure 1).
