Part:BBa_K2213002
araB_eutLK
The ethanolamine utilisation bacterial microcompartment (BMC) proteins, EutLK (from E. coli) under control of the arabinose inducible promoter. Contains RBS, terminators and all tetp components. EutL is tagged with His6. EutK is tagged with FLAG (see figure 1).

araBad Promoter
The ara expression system is advantageous as in addition to being induced by arabinose, gene expression can be rapidly downregulated as repression can occur due to catabolite repression in the presence of glucose or by competitive binding of the anti-inducer fucose. Plasmids containing the ara expression system have minimal levels of background expression (Siegele and Hu, 1997).
