Design Notes

This part is aseembled by the specfic DNA binding sites and Sv40 promoter through Biobrick assembly. We inset the DNA binding sites behind the Sv40 promoter. Then the DNA binding domain with KRAB can repress the expression of this promoter. The repression intensity can be adjusted by change the repeats of DNA binding sites.

Source

This part is assembled by Sv40 promoter BBa_K2446052 and the ZF_43-8 DNA binding sites from IDT.
