Part:BBa_K649401

Arg box

This part contains the Arg Box. The Arg Box is the arginine operator capable of binding the arginine repressor.

Urea concentration detected in bacterial samples on pSB3K3
This work was done by Natsuki Kubo.

As a way to derepress arginine biosynthesis we introduced Arg box on our part BBa_K649401 in addition to rocF gene on our part BBa_K649301. In this case, more urea was produced compared that when only rocF gene was introduced. These results show that Arg boxes are effectively derepressing arginine production by deactivating the arginine repressor.
