Description
pNagP is the promoter of the NagP gene, which expresses a transporter of N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate in Bacillus subtilis.
In bacillus subtilis, this promoter has been reported to induce expression in presence of N-acetylglucosamine 6-phosphate. This NAG molecule is the major component of chitin, a characteristic molecule of fungi.
This BioBrick is a part developed by the Toulouse 2016 iGEM team (http://2016.igem.org/Team:Toulouse_France)
Notes
The BBa_K1937005 part was designed to demonstrate the induction of pNagP by NAG. It belongs to the antifungal module in the Paleolitis project of iGEM Toulouse 2016 (http://2016.igem.org/Team:Toulouse_France).
The part includes the pNagP promoter and its RBS (position 840,455 to 840,655 of the Bacillus genome). The promoter controls the expression of the RFP fluorescent reporter gene. A NheI restriction site has been placed before the RFP ORF to facilitate promoter swapping.
