6XGlucose Sensing Promoter

This composite part is a kind of improved promoter which is sensitive to particular high blood glucose concentration.

Usage and Biology

Because there is high blood glucose concentration in diabetics, in order to get improved gene which is sensitive to diabetics it’s convenient to employ promoter which reacts to high blood glucose. Transcription factor -- ChREBP -- can be effectively expressed with high blood glucose. Meanwhile, heterodimer which consists of ChREBP and Mlx can combine with gene promoter ChoRE to induce gene transcription. Therefore, we choose ChoRE as promoter of engineered plasmid and connect it with minP to indicates a transcription start site. In addition, we increase the number of ChoRE to realize that engineered gene will be activated by particular high blood glucose concentration instead of normal blood glucose concentration.

In this composite part, we used six ChoRE and one minP to engineer new promoter and conducted experience to figure out the specific blood glucose concentration which can activate this composite part.
