HSP60 Promoter

To reach high levels of protein expression, the Pitt iGEM Team is isolating a high-copy promoter, HSP60, for our BioBrick parts. The HSP60 protein is a common chaperone, helping proteins fold correctly, and is necessary for cell survival. Therefore, the HSP60 promoter needs to produce a large amount of the HSP60 protein to prevent other critical proteins from misfolding. Consequently, the HSP60 promoter is an excellent choice for maximum expression BioBrick parts. The Pitt iGEM is using the HSP60 promoter in devices to balance skin oil and to produce melanin.
