Inorganic Mercury-Inducible Promoter repressed by merR

This operator/promoter sequence regulates the mer operon in Thermus thermophilus HB 27; in the absence of inorganic mercury, merR, the repressor protein (BBa_M33335) binds to this sequence, preventing transcription of the downstream operon. In the presence of inorganic mercury, merR undergoes a conformation change, unblocking this promoter and allowing the downstream operon to be transcribed.
