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.
Transcriptional terminator consisting of a 64 bp stem-loop.

V. fischeri <genbank>AF170104</genbank>
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.

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.

Binding region for LasR protein (positive regulation)
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.
enhanced yellow fluorescent protein derived from A. victoria GFP
Modified from <bb_part>BBa_E0031</bb_part>
Yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) reporter coding sequence without the Ribosome Binding Site. Modified with an LVA tail for rapid degradation of the protein and faster fall time for the emission. Annotated mutation cause a Q81L mutation that appears to not be near the active site.
BBa_E0032 yellow fluorescent protein is based on BioBrick part BBa_E0031. It has been modified to include a rapid degradation LVA tail, and includes the BioBrick standard assembly head and tail restriction sites. The RBS has been removed. The stop codon has been changed from TAA to a double stop codon TAATAA.
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.
