Design Notes

The O-R3 site of lambda (17 nt) was replaced by the O-R1 site of 434 (14 nt) to facilitate repression by 434 cI. The new 434 O-R1 is 5'-justified with the lambda O-R3 it replaced, leaving the -10 sequence intact. The 434 O-R2 site replaces the wildtype labmda promoter starting at -5, thereby preserving the 8 nt between 434 O-R1 and O-R2 in the wildtype. The mRNA transcript will contain an additional 9 nt compared to wildtype lambda phage.

This part differs from BBa_I12036 because the -10 region from P(L) was used instead of that from P(RM).
