TorR
The torR gene of Escherichia coli encodes a 25kD response regulator protein involved in the expression regulation of the trimethylamine N-oxide reductase genes, which are regulated by torCAD operon. The torR gene is located just upstream of the torCAD operon, with an opposite transcription direction. The torR-torCAD intergenic region is unusual in that it contains four direct repeats of a 10-nucleotide motif. Part or all of these motifs could be involved in the binding of TorR protein. TorR only mediate the TMAO induction.

In order to construct the standard part pSB1C3-TorR plasmid, TorR sequence was tested to see if there is EcoRI and PstI site. The testing result was showed in Fig.1.
