Description

This is a salicylate inducible promoter part constructed by Lin Min. The activator protein (NahR) gene is in the upstream but in an opposite direction of the regulated promoter. In the presence of salicylate, the promoter can be activated. If we place a generator on its downstream, the transcription of the coding sequence will be triggered by the salicylate-binding positive transcriptional activator protein which is encoded by NahR.

It is necessary to notice that there is no terminator downstream of the NahR coding sequence, but it has no effects on parts that are in the same direction as the pSal promoter. However, if coding gene is placed upstream of this part and in the same direction as NahR, it may cause unexpected expression.

For the purpose of characterization, we connected [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0840 BBa_E0840] downstream of the salicylate promoter to make the composite part, [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K228850 BBa_K228850]. This report system allowed us to test the salicylate inducible promoter indirectly via the fluorescence output of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0840 BBa_E0840], while the input is salicylate solution at a gradient of concentration.
