GAM1 promoter / pSB1C3
GAM1 is an inducible promoter from mosquitoes and regulated by Toll signaling in the mosquito defense system. The promoter drives the immune responsive antimicrobial peptide (AMP), Gambicin to kill both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. And it can control Dengue virus infection and malaria parasite through Toll pathway. It works both in mosquitoes (e.g, Anopheles gambiae, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, etc.) and insect cell lines (e.g, Drosophila S2 cells, Aag2 cells, C6/36 cells, etc.)
GAM1 promoter cloned from the mosquito genomic DNA
The DNA fragment of GAM1 promoter was amplified from gDNA of Aedes aegypti by PCR. The PCR products were cloned onto pSB1C3 vector and the sequence was confirmed by sequencing.
