The DTU Aspergillus promoter collection

Several promoter libraries exist for bacteria and eukaryotic organisms such as yeast and mammalian cells. However, there are currently no such libraries for filamentous fungi in the scientific literature. Until now. The DTU-Denmark 2019 iGEM team proudly presents:
The DTU Aspergillus promoter collection!

Type: Regulatory

Size: 683 bp

This is a strong promoter for Aspergillus niger that has high activity in the exponential phase. This is a synthetic exponential phase promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the glaA promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. The consensus promoter was expected to have really high expression. This version has “noise” added to the sequence to support a hypothesis that it was possible to turn down expression of the promoter.

Size: 842 bp

This is a medium strength constitutive promoter for Aspergillus niger. This is a synthetic constitutive promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the sonB promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. [1] This version is a consensus sequence of the sonB promoters in Aspergillus and is expected to have a medium strength expression.

Size: 926 bp

This is a strong constitutive promoter for Aspergillus niger that has especially high activity in the lag phase. This is a synthetic constitutive promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the gpdA promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. This version is a consensus sequence of the promoters in Aspergillus and is expected to have a high expression.

This is a very strong constitutive promoter for Aspergillus niger that has especially high activity in the exponential growth phase. This is a synthetic constitutive promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the mstA promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. This version is a consensus sequence of the mstA promoters in Aspergillus and is expected to have a high constitutive expression.

Size: 933 bp

This is a weak constitutive promoter for Aspergillus niger. This is a synthetic constitutive promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on an unknown promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. This version is a consensus sequence of the An07g08210 promoters in Aspergillus and is expected to have a weak constitutive expression.

Size: 973 bp

This is a strong promoter for Aspergillus niger that has high activity in the late exponential phase and stationary phase. This is a synthetic constitutive promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the gfaA promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. This version is a consensus sequence of the promoters in Aspergillus and is expected to have a high expression.

This is a strong promoter for Aspergillus niger that has high activity in the stationary growth phase. This is a synthetic stationary phase promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the hfbD promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. This is a consensus promoter and are expected to have high expression in the stationary phase.
