Part:BBa_K1088011

B. subtilis dxs (lac promoter without lac inhibitor)

This part has the dxs gene derived from B. subtilis (BBa_K1088000) controlled by the lactose promoter and has a strong RBS. The part was build to increase the flow through the MEP pathway, and to test whether Dxs derived from E. coli or B. subtilis increased the flow through the MEP pathway the most in E. coli.

The lactose promoter is repressed by the LacI protein, and repression can be relived through allosteric binding of IPTG to the repressor.

Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) was used to assay the expression profile of a similar part (BBa_K1088008) with linker-GFP attached to the end of Dxs. Experiments proved that this part is constitutively active when LacI isn't overexpressed in the cell. See BBa_K1088008 for more details.
