Tryptophan operon terminator
- This part is a 20 bp-long terminator, from the Trp operon, that forms a stem-loop structure. The tryptophan operator provides transcription efficiency as a terminator design, promoting a rho-independent or intrinsic termination. This means that the termination process carried out by the Trp terminator does not depend on the presence of termination factors [1]. Moreover, it shares several features with other known sites of transcription termination of E. Coli. The tryptophan terminator was designed with scientific literature and iGEM team's research, in this way it was used for the transcription termination of a gene of another part (to know more, please visit BBa_K4260006), that was tested in E.coli DH5α and BL21 strains with experimental procedures.
