TlpA: Temperature-Dependent Transcriptional Repressor with Parent RBS

TlpA is a constitutively expressed protein, which binds to promoter pTlpA and blocks the start of transcription of genes downstream of pTlpA.1 The binding to the promoter is reversibly deactivated by temperatures above 37 °C with full deactivation at 45 °C. Parameters influencing the final expression of the genes downstream of pTlpA are the constitutive promotor and RBS of TlpA itself and the RBS of the pTlpA downstream genes. By tweaking these sequences, it should be possible to obtain a wide range of leakiness and fold changes (fold-change up to 200-fold).
