Tunable Temperature Sensor v2 (using LacI ts + other parts from Registry 7.05)
Tuneable Temperature Sensor made with parts available in Registry 7.05 DNA-1. At higher temperatures, the lacI dimer degrades into lacI monomers. The LacI promoter is no longer inhibited, hence more RFP is produced. Also, cI 434 is produced resulting in Prm+ being repressed, thus lowering the levels of GFP. At lower temperatures, the lacI dimer is allowed to form, hence the LacI promoter is repressed. RFP levels decrease, and cI levels drop. This results in Prm+ no longer being repressed, hence GFP levels increase. Behaviour is tuneable by adjusting the levels of lacI ts via L-arabinose activating pBad. The net result is that the fluorescence (green to red) can be correlated to a temperature (at a given level of L-arabinose). Note IPTG induces R0010, offering a second degree of tuning.
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.
The Plac insert was PCR'd from the MG1655 strain of E.coli K12.
Inverting regulatory region controlled by LacI (<bb_part>BBa_C0010</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_C0011</bb_part>, etc.) The pLac regulatory region is a 243 base-pair sequence with standard BioBrick prefix and suffix sections on its ends. It contains two protein binding sites: CAP, which is generally present in E.coli and is assocciated with cell health and availability of glucose., and LacI, the Lac inhibitor <bb_part>BBa_C0010</bb_part> which binds in an dimerized cooperative manner to inhibit the transcription of the protein that follows. In the presence of lactose or IPTG, an analog of lactose, LacI is unable to correctly bind and inhibit transcription. This allows <bb_part>BBa_R0010</bb_part> to be used as a inverter or as a detector of lactose or IPTG.
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 this regulator. This part is incompatible with environments containing lactose or lactose analogs.
Transcriptional terminator consisting of a 64 bp stem-loop.

TAATAA double stop codon added (DE). Four silent mutations made to remove three EcoRI sites and one PstI site: A28G, A76G, A349G, G337A.
LacI repressor (temperature-sensitive mut 265) (+LVA)
Mutated from BBa_C0012 Repressor, LacI (LVA+) to be temperature sensitive. Mutation from Chao, et al., 2002: Gly265->Asp (GG(803)T->GAT)
Medium RBS based on Ron Weiss thesis. Strength considered relative to <bb_part>BBa_B0030</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 ("RBS-1" in figure 4-14 of 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.

Removed LVA tag from BBa_C0052 via PCR. In pSB1AK3 currently.
Modified lamdba Prm promoter (repressed by 434 cI)
Lamdba Prm promoter modified to be activated by lamda repressor (cI) and repressed by 434 repressor (cI)
The O-R1 region of 434 contained 14 base pairs as opposed to the 17 base pairs of the O-R3 site of lambda. Also, it was noticed that the O-R3 site of the lambda included part of the -10 site. Hence, to preserve the spacing and the -10 site, the three nucleotides that were in both the -10 site and the lambda O-R3 site were retained. The 14 nucleotides that were in the O-R3 site and not in the -10 site were replaced with the O-R1 site of the 434.
