Design Notes

We have designed an inducible promoter that combines the work of two researchers (Schell & Poser, 1989; Meyer et al., 2018). It uses the nahR gene and sal promoters to activate transcription in response to the inducer salicylate, and can with a few base changes in the promoter, can provide different promoter effects. See below a diagram of the design and the base changes that induce varying transcription level effects:

Figure 1. Inducible promoter design. According to Cebolla et al. (1997), nahR produces a transcription factor that controls the expression of genes regulated by sal promoters. In the presence of salicylate, expression of those genes is facilitated.


Restriction enzymes were removed to minimise off-target effects. Substitute bases were chosen to most closely match the natural codon frequency in bacteria.
