Design Notes

PfadBA-RFP contains two parts (1)fatty acid-dependent promoter(pfad) and ribosomal binding site(RBS) (2)mRFP, a red fluorescent protein. mRFP plays a role as a reporter that indicates the function or efficiency of the promoter. The promoter pfad acts as a regulator of downstream protein expression, and is regulated by the fatty acid-dependent promoter, fadR. In the absence of fatty acids, the protein binds at a site downstream of the promoters of the fad genes and represses transcription. When long chain fatty acids become available, they bind to FadR, and elicit a conformational change that releases the protein from DNA, thus removing the repression. In our design, fadR is constitutively expressed and could be repressed by adding oleic acid(a long-chain fatty acid), thereby expressing mRFP.
