Usage and Biology

BBa_K3806012 contains a codon optimized lacZ gene for optimal expression in E. coli. The lacZ gene encoding β-galactosidase can be used as a colorimetric reporter gene for qualitative and quantitative assays. Several substrates can be used to monitor β-galactosidase activity such, O-nitrophenyl β-d-galactopyranoside (ONPG), 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-in-dolyl-β-d-galactoside (X-gal), or chlorophenol red-β-d-galactopyranoside (CPRG). This part is used in BBa_K3806014 and BBa_K3806016 as reporter gene within a aptazyme-regulated genetic circuit that enables a ligand-dependent colorimetric read-out.
