Constitutive E. coli promoters

All the promoters in this section are E. coli promoters that are constitutive meaning that their activity is dependent on the availability of RNA polymerase holoenzyme, but is not affected by any transcription factors. If you find any promoters on this page that you know to be regulated by a particular transcription factor, please let us know, or re-categorize the part yourself!

Constitutive E. coli σ70 promoters

This section lists promoters that are recognized by E. coli σ70 RNAP. σ70 is the major E. coli sigma factor so there should be RNAP present to transcribe these promoters under most growth conditions (although maximally during exponential growth).

  • Anderson Promoter Collection - a well-characterized collection of E. coli σ70 constitutive promoters contributed to the registry by Chris Anderson.

Constitutive E. coli σS promoters

This section lists promoters that are recognized by E. coli σS RNAP. σS is the major stationary phase E. coli sigma factor. Use these promoters when you want high promoter activity during stationary phase or during starvation. Since σS promoters have the same consensus promoter sequence as σ70 promoters, you may find these promoters will be weakly expressed by σ70 RNAP.

Constitutive E. coli σ54 promoters

This section lists promoters that are recognized by E. coli σ54 RNAP. σ54 is a minor E. coli sigma factor that is most highly expressed during nitrogen-limitation. Use these promoters if you want promoter activity to depend on ammonia or nitrogen levels. Alternatively, since this is a minor sigma factor that recognizes promoters with a very different sequence to σ70 promoters, this sigma factor could be repurposed to be be expressed and active during some user-chosen set of environmental conditions, essentially producing a user controllable RNAP.

Constitutive promoters from miscellaneous prokaryotes

The promoters in this table are prokaryotic promoters that are constitutive meaning that the activity of these promoters is dependent only on the concentration of the appropriate RNA polymerase and sigma factor. Constitutive prokaryotic promoters other than those from E. coli or B. subtilis are listed here. The equivalent pages for E. coli and B. subtilis are listed here and here. Note that many prokaryotic RNA polymerases recognize similar promoter sequences so many of these promoter sequences will work in other prokaryotes.

Constitutive promoters from bacteriophage T7

ConstitutivePromoter.png

These promoters are recognized by the T7 RNA Polymerase and are constitutive meaning that their activity is dependent on the availability of RNA polymerase, but is not affected by any transcription factors. T7 promoters are known to have high activity levels and are also highly orthogonal to bacterial promoters since the respective RNA Polymerases are unrelated.
