pRM promoter from Lambda

pRM promoter from Lambda phage. It may be positively and negatively regulated according to cI protein concentration[1]. Low [cI] induce it, high [cI] repress it. It needs OL region (K566000) for effective repression. Makes the biphasic switch (K566002) together with OL region.

Usage and Biology

pRM promoter transcribes CI, rexA, and rexB in a lysogen. It contains three operators named OR1, OR2 and OR3, all cI binding sites. When bound to OR1 and OR2, cI positively regulates pRM; cI binding to OR3 repress pRM. However, due to a low binding affinity to OR3, higher concentrations of the protein are required. Furthermore, OL region -spaced 2.4kb apart- is needed to stabilize cI binding to OR3 through cooperative binding forming a DNA loop (2).
