By means of PCR and molecular cloning, we come to possess the promoters that will serve as templates for promoter family. There are several conservative sequences in the promoters, for instance, the -35 box, the -10 box, +1 start.

Moreover, there are two specific non-sense sequence in every promoter, one on each side of the transcription initiation site. The artificially added non-sense sequences are set once selected from random groups. They have three main characters:

1. They will never present in complicated structures;
2. They will never include the restriction enzyme cutting sites that will be involved in the whole study;
3. they will never include the recognition sites of RNA Polymerases and either of the repressors.

We plan to try N different positions for Operator A and M ones for Operator B, thus constructing N*M kinds of promoters that actually constitute a specific promoter family. After transformed into the four test plasmid (pCR00, pCR01, pCR10, pCR11) together with a downstream double-reporter system, we will get to know the activity of ____<TODO> intensity of the repression ______<TODO>.
