A constitutively active promoter expresses Clts, a temperature sensitive cI repressor of the lambda phage. If the temperature is significantly below 37°C (body temperature), Clts is an active repressor for the cI lambda promoter. This promoter controls the transcription of a repressor protein, AraC. Therefore, if conditions are not 37°C, the AraC is not available, hence the pBAD promoter, controlled by AraC, is active and genes under the control of the pBAD promoter are not transcribed.
