Rhamnose promoter coupled to N-genes

nfsA, nfsB and nemA (refered here as N-genes) are the genes for NfsA, NfsB and NEM reductases, which presumably play a role in 2,4-DNT and 2,4,6-TNT metabolism because when these genes were knocked out, the response of the yqjF and ybiJ promoters decreased 1,000 times.[1] This construct was made so that these genes are regulated by the inducible Rhamnose promoter

Characterisation

According to our results, these N-genes play an important role in the activation of ybiJ and yqjF promoters in presence of 2,4-DNT.
