AlcR Expression Construct

AlcR is a gene found in Aspergillus nidulans which encodes for a regulatory protein (Panozzo et al., 1997). AlcR can bind to the alcA and aldA promoters (PalcA and PaldA, respectively). In the presence both AlcR and ethanol or threonine, genes downstream of these promoters are expressed (Felenbok et al., 1988).


Construct Design

LINK This construct constitutively express alcR, a regulatory protein necessary for the activation of PalcA. We use a strong promoter and strong RBS combination (BBa_K880005) to maximize protein production, the alcR sequence (BBa_K2092001), and a double terminator (BBa_B0015) to end transcription.


PCR Check Results

The part was confirmed by PCR using the primers VF2 and VR, as well as sequencing by Tri-I Biotech.
