MuMor Sensitivity tuner (PoPS->PoPS)

This is a sensitivity tuner created form the Mor protein and Pm promoter of the Mu bacteriophage it can be used to increase the PoPS of a construct. The Mor protein encoded in the first part of the construct is the activator of the Pm promoter, which does not begin transcription until the Mor protein binds to its consensus sequence and attracts the polymerase.

Usage and Biology

The activation of the promoter requires the holenzyme σ70, which normally binds to the -35 and -10 consensus sequences, the promoter has the -10 but does not have the -35 sequences instead it has another sequence approximately at -51 where the activator protein binds. Once the protein is located there, the holenzyme σ70 recognizes the promoter and transcription begins.

This device was designed with two purposes in mind, increase the PoPS output of the pBad promoter (any promoter would work) and change its almost linear production into an almost Boolean one. This part has the following structure: activator protein, transcriptional stop and phage promoter. The sensitivity tuner can be used to achieve both purposes on any construction they just have to be inserted between the desired promoter and the desired coding sequence.

This part has no special safety considerations.
