Design Notes

Our pBAD promoter has a longer sequence compared to the ones already registered and is composed of six regulation sites.( http://www.univ-orleans.fr/sciences/BIOCHIMIE/L/Illustrations%20cours/SLO-5BC03%20Regulation%20expression%20genome/Procaryotes/SLO-5BC03-COURS3.pdf )

417 bp from the promoter to the ATG of araB plus the 82 first bp of the araB gene.

pBAD is a natural promoter in E. Coli and is part of its genomic sequence. It regulates the production of three proteins (AraA, AraB and AraD) which form the arabinose operon. Their production enables the use of arabinose as a carbon source. It has six regulation sites, five of them are devoted to AraC fixation (three are repressing, one has a dual activity and one is an activator); the last one is a CRP binding site (positive activity). This promoter is activated when both activated CRP and AraC are bind to it.
