Sequences BBa_I1013_sequence (Version 1)

Description

Region which serves as basis for transcription of asRNA that binds to and inhibits BBa_I1010's mRNA transcript via micRNA mechanism (See below for details). Has tetR promoter BBa_R0040. Part of the XOR gate comprised of BBa_I1010 and BBa_I1020, their corresponding asRNA coding sequences (BBa_I1013 and BBa_I1023), and the LacO-1 and TetR BBa_R0040 promoters.

Complementary to beginning of BBa_I1010 transcript covering RBS, start codon, and 73 bp into coding sequence. Secondary structure designed for the IS10 anti-sense mRNA mechanism (See below).

Anti-sense

The success of this system clearly rests on the ability to effectively and specifically target mRNA transcripts for degradation using anti-sense RNA. While many papers, articles, and books have been written on the subject, there are no consensus anti-sense building strategies presented. We thus chose to implement three different types of antisense inhibition: KISS, micRNA, and IS10. In the description that follows, the following nomenclature will be used:

target- the mRNA transcript that we wish to inhibit.

anti-sense- the anti-sense molecule which will bind and inhibit target.

IS10

This method is modeled after the mechanism by which IS10 inhibits production of IS10 transposase. The anti-sense strand is transcribed from the complementary strand of the target (see below), resulting in an anti-sense strand that is 115 bp long, of which 35 bp are complementary to the target. In the absense of a target, these 35 bp form a weak stem loop with the rest of the anti-sense molecule (see below). The key element of the system is the loop at the tip of this stem loop (C-G-G-C-U-U...), which is held in a linear state by the rest of the loop. Upon exposure to the target, the linear loop is able to bind to the 5' end of the target (G-C-C-G-T-T...), and initiate an energetically-favorable zipping/twisting-together of the target and the 5' end of the stem loop (see below). In other words, one side of the weakly stable anti-sense stem loop binds 35 bp of the target, to form a more stable duplex.

I1010 and I1013

Biobricks part BBa_I1013 codes for the exact anti-sense stem loop used in IS10, with two base changes. The 5'-most residues from IS10 anti-sense transcript ( U-C), which do not form part of the stem loop, were changed to G-A. These two bases are reverse-complementary to the first two base pairs of the wildtype cI coding region of BBa_I1010, and thus can bind this region. The rest of the stem loop is wild-type.

The BBa_1010 transcript is targeted by BBa_I1013. The first 35 bases at the 5' end of BBa_I1010 are identical to the first 35 bases at the 5' end of the wild type target, with two differences. Note that three bases T-G-C (which code for cysteine) have been inserted at the 5' end of the cI coding region immediately after the start codon. This allows us to use a wild-type binding pattern at the base of the stem. Since this cysteine is added to the N-terminus of cI, it is not expected to alter the repression ability of cI.

Incompatible with systems containing BBa_I1011, BBa_I1012.
Compatible with BBa_I1020, BBa_I1021, BBa_I1022, BBa_I1023.
