| − | + | Recombinases are crucial tools for biotechnology. As our designed proofs of concept illustrate, they are excellent tools for dynamic manipulation of gene expression. To accurately test for recombinase function, a simple, reliable assay is required. This is provided by our target site-term-target site constructs. These are inserted between a promoter and an RBS for a fluorescent protein. If the recombinase recognises the target sites, then recombination will occur and the terminator will be excised, leading to expression of the fluorescent reporter. This construct was used to assay Dre/Rox recombination activity and efficiency. | |

Rox-Term-Rox Measurement construct.
Rox-Term-Rox construct inserted in BBa_J04450 part. If Dre recombinase is present it will cause recombination between the two rox sites, excising the terminator and allowing expression of the RFP protein. Therefore, this plasmid can be used as an assay for determining levels of Dre recombinase activity.
