Constitutive P8 promoter and RBS composite
The P8 constitutive promoter is natively found Lactococcus lactis. Although the transcriptional efficiency of this promoter has been characterized and tested in Lactococcus lactis and other Gram-positive bacteria, its functionality in Gram-negative species such as E. coli has not been recorded in the literature. We have confirmed that E. coli transformed with a cassette plasmid containing the P8 promoter and E2-Crimson reporter is able to successfully express the E2-Crimson red fluorescent protein. The P32 promoter and RBS sequence are natively found in the genome of Lactococcus lactis. However, we ordered the promoter and RBS sequence as a gBlock using the sequence information provided by Zhu et al. (2015).
Usage and Biology
As a PhytoBrick compatible part, P8 promoter can be assembled into a transcriptional unit via Golden Gate assembly method to upregulate expression of a gene of interest in E. coli as well as L. lactis. of a gene of interest in E. coli as well as L. lactis.
