PlcR Promoter


Background


Sequence Development and Annotation

In the same way that we assembled the Lac/Ara-1 promoter from primer-primer adhesion and their subsequent extension, the PlcR promoter was assembled in the same fashion. See the Lac1/AraC Promoter for the full assembly details.

Promoter Assembly

The forward primer used in assembly is:
Plcr forward promoter.JPG
The sequence in red is the EcoR1 restriction site with that in blue being the Xba1 restriction site. The region in purple are the bases that the forward and reverse primers overlap with one another.

The reverse primer used in assembly is:
Plcr reverse promoter.JPG
The sequence in green is a Pst1 restriction site and that in orange is the Spe1 restriction site. The region in purple is the sequence of shared overlap with the forward primer. As can be seen, there have been randomised nucleotides introduced so as to create a library of varying promoters. This was performed so as to increase the stochastic nature associated with the promoter efficacy. According to the IUPAC nomenclature, Y indicates either a C or a T while W indicates either an A or a T.
