Abstract excerpt
Naturally occurring promoters that are repressed by the Escherichia coli FNR protein are complex. In this work, we have constructed a simple semi-synthetic promoter that is repressed by FNR binding to a single site that overlaps the promoter -35 element. Our results show that a single site for FNR is sufficient for effective repression. This semi-synthetic promoter provides a simple tool for monitoring FNR...
