Part:BBa_K3600000

HSP12 promoter part plasmid

This part contains the promoter of HSP12, a heat-shock protein in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae that is activated by the high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway.¹

Usage and Biology

• activators: MSN2/4
• HSP12 gene encodes Saccharomyces Cerevisiae's small heat shock proteins.¹
• The promoter HSP12 has been chosen in order to express fluorescent protein [ref] when the S.cervisiae is exposed to a stress.
• The yeast toolkit for modular assembly (ref) was used to assemble transcriptional units. This promoter was used as a part of type II.
• The induction of gene transcription is mediated by stress response elements STRE.²
