Promoter with flanking BpiI sites for GGC.

PART DESCRIPTION:Constitutive promoter

This is a medium-strength Escherichia coli Ptrc* promoter. The asterisk denotes the lack of an operator downstream of the transcription start site, -35 to +1 of the promoter. The promoter's sequence comes from "Precise and reliable gene expression via standard transcription and translation initiation elements" by Vivek K. Mutalik and colleagues. Two inward pointing BpiI (BbsI) sites were added between the original promoter sequence and the BioBrick prefix and suffix to allow seamless assembly into the 2013 Purdue iGEM team's Bicistronic Design (BCD) Expression Operating Units, modified versions of BCDs 7, 18, 22 and 23 created by Mutalik et al. in the aforementioned work.
