T5 Cumate Operator

 This promoter is composed by a partial phage T5 promoter and Cumate operator. The expression of a downstream gene is repressed by the presence of CymR protein which binds the Cumate Operator. Adding p-cumate to the culture the CymR is inactivated in his repression and the expression of the gene.
