Lac promoter was known as a pressure inducible promoter. Lac promoter is repressed by LacI protein. The repression is released by adding IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside). Besides IPTG induction, pressure induction is possible. Under high pressure, the affinity of lac protein for lac operon decreases by transition of Lac protein from tetramer to dimer. Through this mechanism, Lac promoter is induced by pressure. </span></p></td> <td class="a" width="3%"> </td> </tr> </table> <IMG src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2008/b/bd/Test.jpg" alt="[サンプルの絵]" width="300"> <! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> <! strategy> <a name="strategy"></a> <p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=4>Strategy</font></b></p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="a" width="0%"> </td> <td class="a"> <p class=MsoNormal>We thought two projects, basic project and application project.
