LacI is a regulatory protein responsible for the repression of many catabolite genes. Transcription is regulated by proteins which bind operator sequences around the transcription start site. These proteins can positively affect transcription (activators) or negatively affect transcription (repressors). Many repressor proteins are inactivated by addition of an inducer, such as IPTG or certain sugars.

LacI (Lva-, N-terminal deletion) regulatory protein

Transcriptional regulator proteins generally regulat trancription by binding to specific operator sequences around the transcription start site. These proteins can affect transcription positively (activators) or negatively (repressors). In addition, many of these regulatory proteins can be regulated themselves by the presence of chemcials and compounds, such as the inducers IPTG.

LacI is the regulator protein for the lactose operon in E.coli and the hyper-spank promoter of B. subtilis#1(BBaK143015) and is responsible for ensuring there is no expression through these promoters in the absence of lactose (or IPTG). LacI is not endogenous to B. subtilis so LacI will need to be expressed in the host in order for the hyper-spank promoter to be regulated. In the presence of IPTG or lactose, the LacI tetramer is unable to bind DNA and so transcription resumes.

This version of LacI lacks a Lva degradation tag and has a small(3 amino acid) N-terminal deletion relative to the current registry LacI (BBa_C0012), where the LacI will act as a reciever for an IPTG input to result in an Polymerases per second (PoPS) output.
