Use
To Use this promoter, you need to co-transform with the Phycocyanobilin Plasmid such as BBa_K1017726. You also need the CcaR/CcaS part such as BBa_K360051. And a Ptet promoter driving your desired gene. Then you have to grow cultures in either green light (535nm) or broad spectrum light to produce high levels of TetR.
Design Notes
The spacer region between TetR and cpcG2 can be modified in order to increase or decrease the RBS strength, as TetR start codon is a ways down from the end of the promoter. The region it is so far is because our primers when assembling the plasmid had troublesome secondary structures closer to the promoter and start codon, so we needed a spacer.
