Arabinose inducible GFP (pBAD+GFP)

A GFP reporter under control of a pBAD promoter, used to characterise the activation range of the pBAD promoter

Usage and Biology

Without any arabinose in the system, araC forms a homodimer, binding to operator sites upstream of the pBAD promoter, generating an inhibitory loop in the DNA that prevents access by RNAP. In the absence of glucose, and the presence of L-arabinose, the dimer dissociates from the DNA, allowing transcription of GFP.

We added varying concentrations of arabinose (optimum concentration ranges were obtained from (sloveniaon igem characterisation), and recorded fluorescence in a BMG plate reader.
