AR Promoter A1-B1

This part is a part of the Chlamy-HUB-Collection. Another strong constitutive promoter is the AR promoter that is composed of HSP70A and RBCS2 building a tandem promoter. Therefore the HSP70A (A) promoter is fused upstream of another promoter resulting in a stronger transgene expression (Schroda et al. 2000). The combination of the HSP70A (A) promoter and the RBCS2 (R) promoter building PAR has the positive effect that transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) is strongly reduced making this promoter popular for transgene expression (Schroda et al. 2002). This part was designed for C. reinhardtii.

Characterization

The AR Promotor was used for two different paromomycin constructs. The first carries the registry part BBa_K2703008 which we wanted to compare to our improved paromomycin construct which also feautres this promoter. The improvement was done as part of the 2019 gold criteria. The colony growth proves the functionality of the promoter. This part was also used for characterization purposes of the ARS secretion signal in the level 1 construct L1c-AR-ARS-YFP-Rbcs2
