DLX_TtgR-Pttg_v3.0

The biomodule carries all the elements to drive RNA transcription under the control of naringenin in E. coli. An operator for the TetR-family factor TtgR was evolved to allow the induction of gene expression by naringenin (doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkz772). The coding sequence of the TtgR repressor is driven by a constitutive promoter directed in the opposite direction of the naringenin-inducible promoter Pttg. TtgR gene transcription is interrupted by a transcription terminator and TtgR 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 naringenin.
