Malonyl-CoA Sensor. This part is a PhytoBrick variant

piGEM2502_fapO

This part contains the fapO sequence, as well as a strong artificial promoter P_23100. FapO is the binding site for the repressor protein FapR. When FapR is present, transcription of the coding sequence controlled by J_23100 is blocked. When FapR binds Malonyl-CoA it leaves the fapO site and transcription can occur.

Usage and Biology

This part acts as a promoter controlled by the repressor FapR.
The system was taken from B. subtilis 168
Malonyl-CoA is a normal metabolite and completely harmless. For induction, a concentration between 2 and 25 mM can be used.
We designed this biobrick in order to get a system with a usable readout for the intracellular Malonyl-CoA concentration.
Can with be combined with a several reporter genes. We had the best results using the LUX operon.
