MarA Generator

The MarA protein acts as a transcriptional activator in E. coli. It allows the expression of the acrAB and tolC operons, which activate the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump, a mechanism that has been related with resistance to organic solvents, dyes, detergents, antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, tetracycline, novobiocin, erythromycin, fusidic acid and cloxacillin, as well as to cationic antimicrobial peptides, such as LL-37, HNP-2 and HBD-1.

This composite part allows MarA expression in presence of IPTG, by using the LacI promoter and the RBS based on Elowitz repressilator (Part BBa_J04500)
