Description
This is a modified trp operon, promoter and operator site, that recognizes and binds to a doubly mutant repressor sequence and its corepressor, 5-methyl-L-tryptophan. In conjunction with the mutant tryptophan repressor, this modified operon functions as an inverter, converting input 5-methyl tryptophan levels and converting decreasing levels of 5MT into a PoPs output signal for downstream transcription.
Notes
Point mutation from A to C on the second aporepressor binding site (i.e. -18) on the sense strand.
