BlcR-binding oligo, 51 bp, IR1 flip + IR2
BlcR is a transcription factor originating from the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Part:BBa_K4361100). In a homodimer state it contains a single DNA-binding domain that specifically binds one of two DNA sequences. Both sequences are so-called inverted repeat pairs (IRs), short DNA sequences whose ends are reverse complements of each other. For the Blc operator, these sequences are 'ACTCTAATgATTCAAGT' (IR1) and 'ATTAGttgaactCTAAT' (IR2), as further explained in Part:BBa_K4361001.
This part up to Part:BBa_K4361013 have been designed to test whether or not the exact orientation of IRs influences the binding strength of BlcR to DNA. This is achieved by 'flipping' the IRs, or replacing them by their reverse complements. To create this part, the nucleotides originally designated as belonging to IR1 have been replaced by the reverse complement of IR1, resulting in 'ACTTGAATcATTAGAGT' (IR1 flip). The BlcR-binding domain of this part thus consists of IR1 flip-tca-IR2, where tca is the original 3 nt linker sequence between IRs.
