ompA is a constitutive promoter found in bacteria of the Bacteroidetes phylum. Bacteroidetes' promoters are generally characterised by a certain motif, upstream of the ORF. The motif, that constitues part of the ompA promoter as well, is TTG at the -33 region and TAnnTTTG at the -7 region. The -33 region has proven to be necessary for maximum expression[2], while the -7 region plays an important role in maximizing promoter activity [1].

Description


ompA is a constitutive promoter found in bacteria of the Bacteroidetes phylum. Bacteroidetes' promoters are generally characterised by a certain motif, upstream of the ORF. The motif, that constitutes part of the ompA promoter as well, is TTG at the -33 region and TAnnTTTG at the -7 region. The -33 region has proven to be necessary for maximum expression[2], while the -7 region plays an important role in maximizing promoter activity [1]. The ompA promoter is highly efficient in Flavobacteria, but functions poorly in E. coli. Thus, it has a potent ability to drive the expression of heterologous genes [1]. The promoter observed in Flavobacterium strains indicates a preference in A in the +1 region. [2]

Athens 2020


This part is designed by iGEM Athens 2020 team during the project MORPHÆ. In this project, Flavobacteria were used to produce a non-cellular structurally coloured biomaterial which would require the secretion of a biomolecule that Flavobacteria do not normally secrete. Our hypothesis is that the formed matrix will have a structure similar to that of the biofilm and thus, it will provide the material with macroscopically the same colouration properties as the biofilm.
