nahR gene in P. putida + promoter + RBS

• The nahR gene activates transcription of the nah and sal operons in response to the inducer salicylate. Traditionally in the NAH7 plasmid it inhabits, it works in trans of these operons, generating an activator that increases their transcription.

It contains the P-J23100 promoter and the nah3 RBS as well.

Studies have shown that this system works in Escherichia coli with no problem (1,2).
