PfnrF8
This is a hypoxia-inducible promoter to restrict gene expression specifically in the hypoxic environment of tumors. The transcriptional activation promoted by the PfnrF8 needs a specific transcription factor called FNR, which can bind to oxygen. When the oxygen level is at a normal range in the internal environment, the transcription factor FNR will associate with oxygen, leading to its impeded binding to the PfnrF8 promoter, and reduce the transcription of its downstream gene. However, in the hypoxic environment of tumors, FNR will disassociate with oxygen and activate its downstream gene.
