3OC6HSL + LuxR reporter and aiia (LVA+) tuning device
This device uses the S01656 module to encode IPTG (or lactose) inducible aiia (LVA+), allowing the tuning of 3OC6HSL degradation activity in lactose tune-able E.coli strains. The presence of the 3OC6HSL and the LuxR protein is read out by the I6042 module.
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.
Promoter (luxR & HSL regulated -- lux pR)
Promoter activated by LuxR in concert with HSL 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 LuxR activator protein complexed with the autoinducer, 3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules of the signalling compound homoserine lactone (HSL). This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.
This promoter is based on the Vibrio fischeri quorum sensing gene promoters. Two genes LuxI and LuxR and transcribed in opposite directions as shown below. The original sequence from which the parts <bb_part>BBa_R0062</bb_part> and <bb_part>BBa_R0063</bb_part> were derived is shown in the picture below. <img src="<bb_file>Image1.gif</bb_file>" width="614" height="362">

autoinducer inactivation enzyme from Bacillus; hydrolyzes acetyl homoserine lactone
<genbank>AF196486</genbank> from Bacillus sp. 240B1 putative metallohydrolase (aiiA) gene.

Sci. U.S.A. 97 (7), 3526-3531 (2000).
Coding region for the autoinducer inactivation enzyme A (aiiA) LVA tagged. The gene was originally isolated from Bacillus sp. 240B1 and it encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs)--quorum sensing autoinducers.

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.
