Pmini is a very short constitutive promoter in yeast, which is only 116bp, but with a good strength.
"Most of native yeast promoters can stretch hundreds of base pairs.

In short，Pmini is a very short constitutive promoter in yeast, which is only 116bp in length, but with strong expression.
The structure of MINI promoter：
The four circuits used in our project:
For convenience, we named the“CYC1p-yECitrine-CYC1t-mStrawberry-CYC1t”as“CC”,“CYC1p-yECitrine-MINIt-mStrawberry-CYC1t”as“CM”,“MINIp-yECitrine-CYC1t-mStrawberry-CYC1t”as“MC”, and“MINIp-yECitrine-MINIt-mStrawberry-CYC1t” as “MM”,hereafter.
The expression level of MINI-GRE:
The RT-PCR result of mini system:
Here, the transcript level of mStrawberry is very low, which means the transcription read through of MINI terminator can be overlooked. You can learn more from our project.
