Promoter Library
Introduction
As a part of our project we wish to create a library of SigmaA promoters and characterise them based on their stregnths.
Novelty in this sub-project
A library of promoters with different strengths would be very useful for engineering biological devices. Promoters' strength can be compared with their PoPS values. However measuring the PoPS is not a trivial process. We can instead meausure their strengths relatively.
Design
Template used to create the promoter sequences: Prefix...UpSpacer...-35...PromSpacer...-10...DownSpacer..Suffix
- BBPrefix - StandardBioBrickPrefix EcoR1 and Xba1 - gaattcgcggccgcttctagag
- UpSpacer - attta - consensus sigA 5 bases 5'
- -35 - TTGACA
- PromSpacer - length 17 - consensus ttttatttaaattatga
- -10 - TATAAT
- DownSpacer (from ackA)- ggaaaag
- BBSuffix - Standard BioBrick suffix Spe1 and Pst1 - tactagtagcggccgctgcag
