pLac driven Aiia (LVA) cassette added downstream of I15022 (edge detector)
pOmpR dependent cI (LVA+) and LuxI (LVA+) generator
This device is the light edge detector circuit. When used with I15008, I15009 and I15010 in an EnvZ- strain, this device produces lambda cI and LuxI proteins in the dark with LuxR being constitutively produced. When combined with an R0065 driven reporter, cells in the dark autorepress R0065 while producing diffusible 3OC6HSL which can activate expression from R0065 in neighboring cells.
RBS (Elowitz 1999) -- defines RBS efficiency
Varies from -6 to +1 region from original sequence to accomodate BioBricks suffix. No secondary structures are formed in the given RBS region. Users should check for secondary structures induced in the RBS by upstream and downstream elements in the +50 to -50 region, as such structures will greatly affect the strength of the RBS.

Derived from the TE terminator of T7 bacteriophage between Genes 1.3 and 1.4 <genbank>V01146</genbank>.
Transcription terminator for the E.coli RNA polymerase.
Suggested by Sri Kosuri and Drew Endy as a high efficiency terminator. The 5' end cutoff was placed immediately after the TAA stop codon and the 3' end cutoff was placed just prior to the RBS of Gene 1.4 (before AAGGAG). Use anywhere transcription should be stopped when the gene of interest is upstream of this terminator.
Positively regulated, OmpR-controlled promoter. This promoter is taken from the upstream region of ompC. Phosphorylated OmpR binds to the three operator sites and activates transcription.
The promoter includes the three OmpR binding sites: C1, C2, and C3. The promoter starts at -107 and goes up to the transcriptional start site at +1. An alternate version, BBa_R0083, cuts out the C2 and C3 sites. The efficacy of this promoter versus the truncated ompC upstream region (BBa_R0083) or the ompF upstream region (BBa_R0084) is currently unknown.

V. fischeri <genbank>AF170104</genbank>
Synthesizes 3OC6HSL, which binds to LuxR. The lux cassette of V. fischeri contains a left and a right promoter. The right promoter gives weak constitutive expression of downstream genes.This expression is up-regulated by the action of the Lux repressor, LuxR. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules the signalling compound HSL. This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.
An LVA tail (sequence: AANDENYALVA) was added to increase protein degradation. .

In complex with HSL, LuxR binds to the Lux promoter, activating transcription from Pr <bb_part>BBa_R0062</bb_part>, and repressing transcription from Pl <bb_part>BBa_R0063</bb_part>. The lux cassette of V. fischeri contains a left and a right promoter. The right promoter gives weak constitutive expression of downstream genes.This expression is up-regulated by the action of the Lux activator, LuxR complexed to HSL. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules the signalling compound homoserine lactone (HSL). This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.
2 silent point mutants were introduced in the coding sequence to remove internal XbaI and PstI sites. Mutation sites were chosen to replace codons commonly used in E. coli with codons used at a similar frequency.
Promoter (lacI regulated, lambda pL hybrid)
represillator of Elowitz and Leibler (2000)
Inverting regulatory region controlled by LacI (<bb_part>BBa_C0010</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_C0011</bb_part>, etc.) The PLlac 0-1 promoter is a hybrid regulatory region consisting of the promoter P(L) of phage lambda with the cI binding sites replaced with lacO1. The hybrid design allows for strong promotion that can nevertheless be tightly repressed by LacI, the Lac inhibitor (i.e. repressor) (<bb_part>BBa_C0010</bb_part>) ([LUTZ97]). The activity of the promoter can be regulated over a >600-fold range by IPTG in E.Coli DH5-alpha-Z1 (same paper reference).
hybrid promoter design to create strong promoter that is, at the same time, highly repressible. note that the upstream operator installed in this hybrid is slightly different than the one in the original source (Lutz and Bujard, 1997). the most upstream operator region is slightly truncated in the represillator version, so that both operators in the hybrid are the same sequence. see references for details. also, the sequence has been truncated after the transcriptional start site. LacI binds to this regulator. This part is incompatible with species containing active LacI coding regions. Lactose and IPTG disable the operation of LacI and increase transcription. This part is incompatible with environments containing lactose or lactose analogs.
