Synthetic promoter_2 with NF-κB and AP1 binding sites

Usage and Biology

The presented synthetic promoter is able to recognize LPS in the surrounding of the cell via the Toll-like receptor, NF-κB/AP1 pathway leading to strong induction of gene expression. Due to its relatively low basal activity and strong induction following LPS supplementation it is perfectly suitable for the application as a LPS-sensor. It was designed as an improvement of the CMV promoter making it LPS-sensing. The novel synthetic promoter is based on a minimal CMV-promoter just containing the TATA-box and the Initiator-Sequence of the original CMV-promoter. Upstream of the minimal Promoter three repetitions of randomly generated AP1-NF-κB binding sites are localized.
