lacI repressor from E. coli (+LVA)

Coding region for the LacI protein with an LVA degradation tail and without an RBS. LacI binds to the pLac regulator BBa_R0010 and PLlac01 hybrid regulator BBa_R0011 and inhibits transcription. IPTG (Isopropylthiogalactoside) binds to LacI and inhibits its operation, therefore promoting transcription.

A rapid degredation tail (LVA) has been added to improve the High to Low performance of this part.
