Design Notes
Contains a full-length Mer operon consists of MerR (mercuric regulatory protein), transporter protein MerP and MerT, Mercury reductase MerA, and followed by glnA and GFP coding sequence. The function of MerR is very similar to LacI, it binds to the promoter region when no ionic mercury is present and inhibits transcription. When ionic mercury is present, it binds to MerR followed by MerR release.
Functionally wise, glnA, GFP and merA will all be expressed when ionic mercury is present. glnA will support bacteria growth and merA reducing ionic mercury; when the environmental mercury has all been exhausted, glnA synthesis will stop due to the inhibition of transcription and bacteria will eventually die off.
Promoter region is obtained from pDU1358
