Introduction

P_fus(2 Ste12 binding sites)

General

The original P_fus (BBa_K1154001) is 201bp long with three Ste12 binding sites, and the Ste12 is the P_fus of transcriptional activator in the endogenous GPCR pathways of yeast.

Fig.1 The sequence of original P_fus

In order to decrease the transcription initiation activity of the promoter, we used the method of one-step mutation to remove a binding sites. (from tgaaaca to ggacac)

Fig.2 Sequencing result of original P_fus and mutant P_fus

After the modified promoter assembling into the [http://2017.igem.org/Team:BIT-China/Project/#Detection detection circuit], we added 5umol/L α pheromone to detect it, and the result is shown in Fig.3.

Fig.3 The mRFP intensity of two kinds of promoters

The intensity of modified promoter was about 35% of the wild type, which did match with our expectation. We got the new P_fus with different transcription initiation activity. With different promoters, we can apply them in the regulation subsystem according to various situations or wide-ranging needs.

But from another point of view, still, we got the new P_fus with different transcription initiation activity. With different promoters, we can apply them in the regulation subsystem according to various situations or wide-ranging needs.

This part is an improvement of BBa_K1154001 of 2013 RHIT team.
