Design Notes

CusR is a response regulator that binds to DNA when phosphorylated. This small part is the sensitive CusR promoter from E. coli and we designed it to be a promoter positively regulated by CusR phosphorylation. In common with many response regulators we expect over-expression of CusR to result in binding and so positive regulation of the promoter. This part is complementary to part BBa_K1349002.

A construct with this part downstream of a gene is expected to show positive regulation of the gene by CusR phosphorylation (or CusR overexpression).

Source

The part was amplified by PCR from the pWW2181 plasmid described by Whitaker et al.
