DLX_LacI-Ptac_v1.0

The biomodule carries all the elements to drive RNA transcription under the control of Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) in E. coli. The coding sequence of the LacI repressor is driven by the constitutive promoter PlacI directed in the opposite direction of the IPTG-inducible promoter composed of tac promoter and lacO operator. LacI gene transcription is interrupted by a transcription terminator and LacI coding sequence was optimized to remove all the restriction sites incompatible with DNAmate assembly. The biomodule shall be placed right upstream of a 5' UTR sequence of a gene of interest to have the expression controlled by IPTG.
