Description
Using Golden Gate Assembly, the transcriptional riboswitch RS8 (from Wachsmuth, et al.) was ligated into the destination vector tClone Tet (J119374) in place of the insert (between BsaI sites). This riboswitch is controlled by theophylline, allowing transcription if theophylline is present. However, it also has shown increased transcription levels in the presence of caffeine. Based on the previous research of Wachsmuth, et al., we do not expect this to be a very effective riboswitch (small dynamic range). We will be using it as a negative control.
Notes
The plasmid that this part is located in is pUC-BR, a plasmid modified from pUC-IDT-Amp with an errant BsaI site in the Ampicillin resistance gene removed.
