Imperial Arsenic promoter + LuxI + GFP expression Arsenic in -> GFP and LuxI out
E. coli chromosomal ars promoter with arsR repressor gene
The DNA was derived by PCR using genomic DNA from E. coli JM109. Primers were designed based on the sequence reported by Diorio et al (1995), J. Bacteriol 177 (8), 2050-2056, Genbank accession X80057, GI:510824. The sequence given here is derived by sequencing the biobrick construct.
This part consists of the promoter of the E. coli JM109 chromosomal arsenic detoxification operon (ars operon), including the ArsR repressor binding site and the arsR gene encoding the arsR repressor protein, together with its ribosome binding site. Addition of any other genes to the 3' end of this part will result in their expression being dependent on the presence of sodium arsenate or sodium arsenite. Arsenite or arsenite anion binds to the repressor protein ArsR, resulting in inability to repress the promoter. Based on our experiments, a concentration of 1 micromolar sodium arsenate in LB is sufficient for essentially full expression, though this will vary according to conditions.
Note that this sequence includes the arsR gene encoding the ArsR repressor protein, which is thus negatively autoregulated. No additional parts are required for arsenate-induced expression from this part. In principle, this part should also function in hosts other than E. coli.

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.
V. fischeri <genbank>AF170104</genbank>
Synthesizes 3OC6HSL, which binds to LuxR. 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 repressor, LuxR. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules the signalling compound HSL. This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.
An LVA tail (sequence: AANDENYALVA) was added to increase protein degradation. .
