FapR, MaCoA Sensor part. This part is a PhytoBrick variant


This part contains the coding sequence for FapR. It is expressed via a constitutive promoter. FapR is a repressor of the fapO site. When FapR binds Malonyl-CoA it leaves the fapO site and transcription can occur.


Usage and Biology

  • This part acts as a repressor controlling the expression of any part controlled by fapO. (K2560302)
  • Malonyl-CoA is a normal metabolite and completely harmless. For induction, a concentration between 2 and 25 mM can be used.
  • The system was taken from B. subtilis 168
  • We designed this biobrick in order to get a system with a usable readout for the intracellular Malonyl-CoA concentration.
  • Can with be combined with a several reporter genes. We had the best results using the LUX operon.
