Design Notes

The major design consideration was the proximity of the repressing sites to the TATA box. 10bp seemed to cause strong repression while still not interfering too much with transcription when no proteins are bound.



Source

This part was generated by modifying the native Gal promoter from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
