Design Notes

Based on the characterization results, we found that although pprm1 possesses three PREs, it has a low induced expression level which indicates a good potential for transformation. And the background expression level of this promoter is low which means it can be used to express some proteins that require lower concentrations in specific stage. Based on the literature, we learned the general effect of PREs on promoter strength. For example, an increase in the copy number of PREs can enhance the induced expression level of the promoter. We doubled the 3 × PREs sequence in natural pprm1. The modified pprm1 is referred to as pprm1 Ultra which contains 6 × PREs. Fragment1 and Fragment3 were obtained by PCR amplification using pprm1-GFP-CYC1 plasmid as the template. pprm1 Ultra consists of these two fragments. The sequences of Fragment1 and Fragment3 are shown in Table1.
