T7 promoter
Part Description
T7 promoter is a dna sequence that can be recognized by T7 RNA polymerase and is mainly used to regulate gene expression of recombinant proteins,all of which allows it to be used in downstream research approaches.It is considered to be a constitutive promoter with high levels of transcription and expression in the presence of T7 RNAP and minimal interaction with bacterial RNAP.
Usage
Because they are not recognized by E. coli RNAP, T7 promoters can generate considerable levels of transcription in E. coli and have the capacity to regulate themselves independently of E. coli promoters. We employ it to regulate TyrR protein expression constitutively in high levels as shown in figure 1.

Literature Characterization
In this study, in comparison to the cytoplasmically-expressing strain, the periplasmic-secreting strain showed faster organophosphorus OPH biocatalytic reaction rates. Additionally, the bacteria under T7 promoter regulation showed faster biocatalytic reaction rates than the strains under Trc promoter regulation, irrespective of the location of OPH inside the cell. The periplasmic-secreting strain's biocatalytic rate was substantially higher with substrate concentrations than the cytoplasmic-expressing strain and showed a 2-fold better conversion rate with 1 mM Paraoxon
