  • Title: Assay and characterization of an osmolarity inducible promoter newly isolated from Bacillus subtilis.
    Author: Zhang WW, Gao QR, Yang MM, Liu H, Wang D.
    Journal: Mol Biol Rep; 2012 Jul; 39(7):7347-53. PubMed ID: 22327648.
    Abstract:
    An osmolarity-sensitive promoter fragment, P23423, isolated from Bacillus subtilis was characterized. The expression of β-galactosidase (β-Gal) driven by P23423 was regulated by osmolarity both in Escherichia coli and B. subtilis. The classical conserved region of this prokaryotic promoter was found within the sequence of the cloned fragment, and the putative promoter was identified as the control element of RNA not coding for protein (a RNA molecule that is not translated into a protein). The efficiency and benefit of this promoter was further demonstrated via osmolarity-induced expression of three other heterologous proteins in E. coli. Thus, this approach provided a simple and inexpensive inducible promoter element for the expression of cloned genes.
