Design Notes
arsR produces a repressor protein that binds to the arsR promoter. When arsR levels are sufficiently high, transcription is repressed until arsenic binds to these repressors and allows transcription to start. Additional protein-coding genes can be placed after this promoter-repressor unit. These proteins will only be expressed in the presence of arsenic.
