pTRELX: Modified Gal1 promoter; gal4O replaced w/ tetO; repressable via lacO
This is a modified version of the native Gal1 promoter found in S.cerevisiae. The four gal4 binding domains present in the native promoter have been replaced by four tetO sites. This promoter may be activated by regulatory activators that are able to bind to tetO. In addition, a lacO operator has been introduced downstream of the TATA box, allowing for repression of gene expression by lacI.
The components of this part are sourced from the native S.cerevisiae genome and the Collins lab at Boston University. Overlap extension PCR was used to replace the gal4 binding domains in the native Gal1 promoter with tetO sites. The proximal region of the promoter, containing the lacO operators, was derived from the Collins lab.

The above data was collected from the following yeast strain:
ade2:: Kanmx-rtact1-pgallx-gfp
ade4:: Natmx – rtact1-pgal-laci-bfp
In the above construct, pgallx drives the production of GFP and is repressed by Laci. As shown in the graph above, the repressor, Laci (tagged with BFP), remains relatively constant over the entire IPTG gradient: a chemical that represses the activity of Laci. Consequently, as IPTG concentration increases, Laci inhibition should be increasingly inhibited, resulting in more GFP being transcribed, which is supported by the above data. The levels of fluorescence then stabilize and achieve steady state.
