completed 2 color temperature sensor, tetracycline tuneable
2 color temperature sensor, with regulatory system decoupled from color production and under the control of a tetracycline repressor for tuning
variant of J11004 (hi temp color) with weaker RBS
Variant of BBa_J1104 with weaker RBS. Concern is that GFP signal will be too strong. The expression of GFP should not start until 37C, but a weaker promoter will help ensure this.
variant of J11005 uncoupled from CI(ts) production
low temperature RFP expression uncoupled from CI(ts) protein
constitutive expressioin of tetR protein
Tet-repressible production of CI(ts) to allow tuning of temperature readouts
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.

The cI regulated promoter is based on the pR promtoer from bacteriohage lambda. The promoter has two two DNA binding sites for lambda cI repressor <bb_part>BBa_C0051</bb_part>. cI binding results in repression of transcription. The specific sequence used here is based on the cI repressible promoter used in the Elowitz repressilator (and references therein).
In order to address concerns about the promoter transcribing in the reverse direction, we have removed the -35 and -10 signals responsible for the promoter activity in the reverse direction. (More details needed here! DE, 2/24/03) Incompatible with host expressing cI repressor.

RBS.1 (strong) -- modified from R. Weiss
Strong RBS based on Ron Weiss thesis. Strength is considered relative to <bb_part>BBa_B0031</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_B0032</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_B0033</bb_part>.
Varies from -6 to +1 region from original sequence to accomodate BioBricks suffix ("orig" in figure 4-14 of Ron Weiss thesis). 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.

Modified lambda Prm promoter (OR-3 obliterated)
Lambda Prm promoter modified to be activated but not repressed by the lambda repressor (cI)
In wild type lambda phage, the OR3 site (-27 to -11) reads "tatcccttgcggtgata" on the sense strand of DNA. To prevent lambda repressor (cI) from binding to this site, the 4th through 10th nt of OR3 were replaced by the 7 nt between OR2 and OR1, "aaatagt" (-57 to -51), which in effect mutates 5 nt of the promoter. These nt were chosen to be about halfway between the -10 and -35 boxes of the promoter. Furthermore, since these nt already act as a spacer in wild-type phage, it is hoped they will not create undesired interactions.

Hendrix, Roger W. et al., ed. Lambda II. New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1983. ind- mutation on p. 626 (at bp 37589 of Lambda) 857 mutation on p. 628 (at bp 37742 of Lambda) Made by introducing two point mutations to Lambda cI (BBa_C0051): G(352)->A for ind- and G(199)->A for 857 temperature sensitivity.
Mutated from BBa_C0051 Repressor, Lambda cI (RBS- LVA+) to be temperature sensitive and UV insensitive.
First attempt to mutate failed. Suspect the problem is a low mutation rate due to results of positive control. May be a result of the mutagenesis kit being old. Second attempt to mutate succeeded. However, the sequencing had a lot of bad sequence at the beginings, so that the ind- mutation was not sequenced by either of the primers used. The ind- mutation was verified by the presence of a HindIII restrition site. This part was never completely sequenced. The cI857 QPI was made by Blue Heron, and this was part was abandoned.

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.
