A prototype photosensing composite part espressing mCherry. The photosensing parts are in parallel for equal transcription controlled by the PLac constitutive promoter. Serves as an initial test of the light responsive system which will later express the luxCDABE operon.
Which promoter to use and whether or not photosensing parts should be controlled by the same promoter.
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.

Positively regulated, OmpR-controlled promoter. This promoter is taken from the upstream region of ompC. Phosphorylated OmpR binds to the three operator sites and activates transcription.
The promoter includes the three OmpR binding sites: C1, C2, and C3. The promoter starts at -107 and goes up to the transcriptional start site at +1. An alternate version, BBa_R0083, cuts out the C2 and C3 sites. The efficacy of this promoter versus the truncated ompC upstream region (BBa_R0083) or the ompF upstream region (BBa_R0084) is currently unknown.

Double terminator consisting of BBa_B0010 and BBa_B0012
One of two requisite genes required for the biosynthesis of phycocyanobilin from heme.
phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PcyA) from synechocystis
Second of two required phycocyanobilin biosynthetic genes.
Chimeric Cph1 light receptor/EnvZ protein.
Silent mutation at base 108 (G-A) to remove PstI site
mCherry from Roger Y. Tsien's lab, altered to be BioBrick compatible and with an LVA tag added.
mRFP (DsRed) derived, altered to be a biobrick by removing a PstI site and adding in the ends.
Made a point mutation to eliminate a PstI site in the middle and then added BioBrick ends with the LVA tag using PCR. Sequenced using primers that bind to the pSB1A2 plasmid on either side of the brick.
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.
