Design Notes

We have designed an inducible promoter that combines the work of two researchers (Schell & Poser, 1989; Meyer et al., 2018). It uses the nahR gene and sal promoters to activate transcription in response to the inducer salicylate, and can with a few base changes in the promoter, can provide different promoter effects. See below a diagram of the design and the base changes that induce varying transcription level effects:

Figure 2. Sequences that generate different expression levels of a gene (RHS). Combined with the addition of TTC (Schell & Poser, 1989), this should generate a system that is tightly repressed and highly expressed in the absence and presence of salicylate.


Restriction enzymes were also removed to minimise off-target effects. Substitute bases were chosen to most closely match the natural codon frequency in bacteria.
