Part:BBa_K5061010
PspA promoter
This part is the promoter of the phage shock protein A (pspA) gene of E. coli.
Usage and Biology
The PpspA promoter is actually bidirectional as it contains, in reverse direction, the promoter of the phage shock protein F (pspF) gene of E. coli. This pspA/pspF promoter is induced by stress factors and is regulated by a network of positive and negative mechanisms [Weiner et al., 1991; Elderkin et al., 2002].
