After each of the four promoter constructs are tested individually, the two which include the CRP-cAMP are changed so that a gene expressing the mutant CRP* is included. This would act as an effective increase in the CRP-cAMP levels in the cell, increasing the strength of the promoter through positive feedback.

Promoter Test Constructs

The xyl bidirectional promoter region promotes in the direction of the genes encoding for xylAB and xylFGH metabolization and transport proteins. The CPR-cAMP, and xylR binding sites regulate both directions. This means that there are four possibilities for making promoters: xylF facing including the CRP-cAMP binding site, xylF facing without the CRP-cAMP binding site, xylA facing including the CRP-cAMP binding site, and xylA facing without the CRP-cAMP binding site.


To test the four xyl promoters, each is placed in a construct followed by a ribosome binding site, the reporter green florescent protein, and a terminator. The strength of each is measured by gfp emission.


This construct uses the xylF and xylA facing promoters that include the CRP-cAMP binding region.


This construct uses the xylF and xylA facing promoters that do not include the CRP-cAMP binding region.


After each of the four promoter constructs are tested individually, the two which include the CRP-cAMP are changed so that a gene expressing the mutant CRP* is included. This would act as an effective increase in the CRP-cAMP levels in the cell, increasing the strength of the promoter through positive feedback.

This construct uses the xylF and xylA facing promoters that include the CRP-cAMP binding region followed by the CRP* gene.
