MREdada promoter

Usage and Biology

The MRE-sites containing promoter enables the metal-dependent expression of a downstream positioned reporter gene via the metal ion-dependent transcription factor MTF-1 for cell-based metal detection.

In order to integrate the findings of Searle and colleagues (1985) and Wang and colleagues (2004) regarding the metal inducibility of a promoter with two MREa sites and a high affinity between MREd and MTF-1, we designed a synthetic promoter with two MREa and two MREd sites that alternate. The aim is to enhance the sensitivity and efficiency of the metal-dependent promoter.

Cloning

Theoretical Part Design

The MREdada promoter sequence was synthesized in order to insert it into the EGFP-C2 backbone (registry entry K3338020) for promoter efficiency testing.
