Design Notes

The [http://rulai.cshl.edu/cgi-bin/SCPD/getgene2?CUP1 SCPD] was used to determine whether or not the removal of an internal XbaI site was feasible. Base pair number 84 was originally a guanine and was substituted with an adenine in the 5' to 3' direction to eliminate the XbaI site in the middle of the sequence. This site is one of two Heat Shock Protein binding site, and as such the usage of any assay related to cell stress will likely be less effective with this promoter. A larger Heat Shock Protein binding site remains in tact, but heat shock proteins bind cooperatively (Åkerfelt, 2010).

Source

The CUP1 promoter was identified in the 5' untranslated region of the metallothionein gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
