Jungle Express promoter. Large dynamic range, low leak. Keeps expression tight, especially on low copy plasmids. Induced by cationic dyes—we use crystal violet. Has allowed us to clone some pretty toxic phage genes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Jungle Express is a versatile repressor system for tight transcriptional control - Nature Communications
Tightly regulated promoters with strong inducibility and scalability are highly desirable for biological applications. Here the authors describe ‘Jungle Express’, a EilR repressor-based broad host sys...
