Promoter, Standard (lambda cI regulated)

[Note: This is the same part as R0051 except that the -10 and -35 sites and spacing have been changed to comply with BBa_S0001].

The cI regulated promoter is based on the pR promtoer from bacteriohage lambda. The promoter has two two DNA binding sites for lambda cI repressor BBa_C0051. cI binding results in repression of transcription. The specific sequence used here is based on the cI repressible promoter used in the Elowitz repressilator (and references therein).


Usage and Biology

Strong promoter. May not be well matched with other '10 series' promoters. [jb 5/24/04]

Functional Parameters: Austin_UTexas

BBa_R1051 parameters

Burden Imposed by this Part:

Burden Value: 4.8 ± 6.9%

Burden is the percent reduction in the growth rate of E. coli cells transformed with a plasmid containing this BioBrick (± values are 95% confidence limits). This BioBrick did not exhibit a burden that was significantly greater than zero (i.e., it appears to have little to no impact on growth). Therefore, users can depend on this part to remain stable for many bacterial cell divisions and in large culture volumes. Refer to any one of the BBa_K3174002 - BBa_K3174007 pages for more information on the methods, an explanation of the sources of burden, and other conclusions from a large-scale measurement project conducted by the 2019 Austin_UTexas team.

This functional parameter was added by the 2020 Austin_UTexas team.
