Usage and Biology

pBAD is an E.coli promoter that is induced by L-arabinose. In the absence of arabinose, the repressor protein AraC (BBa_I13458) binds to the AraI1 operator site of pBAD and the upstream operator site AraO2, blocking transcription [1]. In the presence of arabinose, AraC binds to it and changes its conformation such that it interacts with the AraI1 and AraI2 operator sites, permitting transcription [1].

K206000 is a variant pBAD promoter with a modified AraI1 site that has been shown both to be responsive to lower concentrations of arabinose and to exhibit a higher maximum expression than the wild type (BBa_I13453), as measured by coupling to a fluorescent reporter.

What you can do with it:
BBa_K206000, when used in conjunction with its other family members, can provide varying levels of PoPs output in response to a single level of arabinose input, allowing analog device responses. See [http://2009.igem.org/Team:British_Columbia our wiki] for a project that makes use of this property.

Compatibility:
Chassis: Best used in the E. coli strain [http://cgsc.biology.yale.edu/Strain.php?ID=111773 BW27783], which has been modified to permit homogeneous pBAD promoter expression by substituting the chromosomal arabinose-dependent promoter of AraE (arabinose transporter protein) with a constitutive promoter [2].
Backbone: Has been shown to work on plasmid pSB1C3.
Reporter: Has been shown to work with reporters BBa_I13507 and BBa_I763020.
