  • Patent number: 12123007
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for constructing an efficient Bacillus subtilis promoter, and belongs to the technical field of gene engineering. According to the present disclosure, natural promoters identified by different sigma subunits are connected in series to obtain some double-series and triple-series promoters, the lengths of intervening sequences between core areas of the promoters are optimized on the basis of series connection of the promoters to further improve the activity of the promoters, finally, different RBS designs are performed on the promoters, and it is verified that this strategy can not only improve the compatibility between the promoters and other gene expression regulating and controlling elements, but also controllably regulate the expression of exogenous genes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12098373
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Bacillus subtilis efficiently-induced expression system based on an artificial series promoter, and belongs to the technical field of gene engineering. According to the present disclosure, an efficient artificial series constitutive promoter is used, and by compositely designing the promoter and elements (a repressor and a binding site thereof) relevant to an operon, the activity of the constitutive promoter is regulated and controlled by an inducer to finally construct the B. subtilis efficiently-induced expression system induced by the inducer. The result indicates that compared with a P43 strongly constitutive promoter, the activity of the artificial series promoter in the system is about 15 times higher. The activity of the promoter can be accurately controlled by adding different concentrations of inducers.
