Gold/copper inducible regulator

DNA construct constituted by the pgolS promoter and the coding sequence of CueR. As the pgolS promoter has a basal transcription level, some CueR would be constantly expressed. CueR binds either copper or gold, though it is more selective for copper. CueR is a transcription factor that stimulates the transcription at the pgolS promoter when bound to copper/gold. Thus, this construct increases its expression in the presence of gold or copper through the production of a copper/gold sensitive protein.

In C.Violaceum, this part expressing the RFP BBa_K51603, did not presented an inducible activity in the e-waste copper and gold compositions that Tec-Monterrey 2016 worked with. Nevertheless, a basal activity for the fluorescence was found in the following graph.
