Olmecs: Repressilator version 1 (HK022 cI)
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.
tetracycline repressor from transposon Tn10 (+LVA)
Elowitz, M. B. Transport, Assembly, and Dynamics in Systems of Interacting Proteins. Thesis, Princeton Univ., Princeton (1999)
Coding region for the TetR protein without the Ribosome Binding Site. Modified with an LVA tail for rapid degradation of the protein and faster fall time for the emission. TetR binds to the pTet regulator (BBa_R0040). aTc (anhydrotetracycline) binds to TetR and inhibits its operation.

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.

Derived from luxICDABEG operon terminator of Vibrio fischeri <genbank>AF170104</genbank>.
Bidirectional transcriptional terminator consisting of a 22 bp stem-loop.
In the naturally-occuring sequence there is a mismatch in the stem of the stem loop. This can be corrected via an A->G mutation (at position 40 -- sequence coordinate/not MFOLD coordinate). The above sequence does not reflect this mutation (but the MFOLD image does). This terminator's location cannot be found using some inverted repeat detectors like PALINDROME because it is too short and contains a mismatch. This one was found with the help of Tom Knight. It lies between two coding regions that point towards eachother.

Sequence for pTet inverting regulator driven by the TetR protein.
BBa_R0040 TetR-Regulated Promoter is based on a cI promoter. It has been modified to include two TetR binding sites and the BioBrick standard assembly head and tail restriction sites.

Coding region for the LacI protein with an LVA degradation tail and without an RBS. LacI binds to the pLac regulator <bb_part>BBa_R0010</bb_part> and PLlac01 hybrid regulator <bb_part>BBa_R0011</bb_part> and inhibits transcription. IPTG (Isopropylthiogalactoside) binds to LacI and inhibits its operation, therefore promoting transcription. A rapid degredation tail (LVA) has been added to improve the High to Low performance of this part.

[ELOW00] Sequence taken from the repressilator of Elowitz and Leibler (2000). The obtained sequence was compared to the wild-type sequence for LacI obtained through a database search. The sequence had been modified from the wild-type in that wild-type GTG start was changed to an ATG start (note, actual ORF in E.coli has several GTG starts it would seem). The LVA tag has been added for quicker degradation. Incompatible with systems containing LacI, lactose, or IPTG.

Coding region for the HK022 bacteriophage cI protein. cI binds to the HK022 pR regulator (BBa_R0050). It represses transcription of the protein encoded by the sequence 3' to the pR region. This coding sequence does not contain a RBS.

Response from John Little (Arizona) regarding the start of HK022 cI From: <jlittle@email.arizona.edu> Date: Tue Jan 21, 2003 4:39:21 PM US/Eastern To: "Drew Endy" <endy@MIT.EDU> Subject: RE: hk022 cI start (naive question)? Hello Drew and Michael, I seriously doubt that the extra 27 aa are part of CI. It doesn't make sense in terms of the biology, for sure. In any case, the protein we characterized starts where Carlson and Little stated; as I recall, oR3 partially overlaps the start of cI. I have a vague memory of some possibly interesting biology, having to do with multicopy plasmids. I don't recall the findings themselves. Anyway, one possible explanation was that this extra N-terminal addition was made (e.g. from the pRE promoter, or from a message that arose from transcription around the entire plasmid), making a protein with altered functions. We never followed it up. Good luck John -- Original Message -- Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2003 15:26:26 -0500 Subject: hk022 cI start (naive question)? Cc: elowitm@rockefeller.edu To: jlittle@u.arizona.edu From: Drew Endy <endy@MIT.EDU> Hi John, I'm sitting here with Michael Elowitz and we're working through the sequence for HK022 cI. We noticed that the annotation from NC_002166 includes an "extra" 81 base pairs upstream of what we thought of as the actual start. It looks like this extra DNA extends into the PR regulatory region. We're wondering what's going on here? I'm guessing this is well documented somewhere. Thanks for any pointers/info! Drew It is unknown whether there is cross-talk between this repressor and Lambda cI regulatory region, 434 cI regulatory region and P22 regulatory region.
The pR regulatory region is a 98 base-pair sequence with standard BioBrick prefix and suffix sections on its ends. It contains two operator sites at which HK022 cI protein can bind cooperatively. The -35 and -10 regions from pR are included along with some flanking sequences. The cutoff for the 5' end of the regulatory region was placed just after the pM -10 region which promotes transcription of a gene upstream (thus the pM -10 region is not included). The cutoff for the 3' end of the regulatory region was placed immediately prior to the RBS.
Derived from <genbank>STHK022N</genbank>. Literature claims that there is no cross-talk between HK022 cI regulatory region, Lambda cI, 434 cI and P22 cI, but this has not been verified experimentally by the synthetic biology group at MIT.
