Combinatorial validation of the VACOFF system in different transactivator and promoter configurations. VACOFF transactivators employing different transactivation domains (A: VanA1, VanR-VP16; pMG250) (B: VanA2, VanR-p65; pMG256) (C: VanA3, VanR-E2F4; pMG257) were co-transfected with different vanillic acid-responsive promoter variants containing 0 (P1VanO2; pMG252), 2 (P2VanO2; pMG265), 4 (P3VanO2; pMG266), 6 (P4VanO2; pMG267), 8 (P5VanO2; pMG268) and 10 (P6VanO2; pMG269) base-pair linkers between VanO and the minimal promoter into CHO-K1 cells. All promoter variants drove SEAP expression and the production was profiled 48 h after cultivation of the cells in media containing different concentrations of vanillic acid (0, 50 and 250 μM).
