This part contains a reporter gene BBa_J04450, combined with OriTR. Used to test plasmid mobility.
OriTR comes form BBa_J01003, reporter gene comes from BBa_J04450.
Once the conjugation take place,the recipient bacterium will obtain the reporter gene which gives us a signal to distinguish whether the conjugation has happened as well as the conjugation efficiency easily through observation. In addition, it facilitates the Follow-up experiments on the conjugation rate, conjugation time, and conjugation efficiency between different strains.
OriTR region contains some promoters, we put it in the back of reporter gene . In order to reduce the impact on protein expression
It is composed of two parts that have been registered before.
Composed of BBa_K206000(a promoter induced by L-arabinose) and BBa_K112808(T4 Lysis Device without promoter).
We considered to add an RBS between the promoter and lysis device but found that there is a DNA sequence of "aggagg" at the beginning. So we just connect the two parts together.
Contains an IPTG inducible promoter an RBS, RFP, and terminator.
OriT-R (Origin of transfer for the R-plasmid nic region)
OriTR, the R plasmid nic region, is where the relaxosome nicks the plasmid and conjugative transfer by R plasmid machinery begins.
Enterobacteria phage T4 Lysis Device - no promoter
Pubmed Accession Number: NC_000866 Enterobacteria phage T4
This is the lysis device using three genes from enterobacteria phage T4: lysozyme, holin, and antiholin. Various promoters can be installed with this device to control the lysis of bacteria. Antiholin has its own constitutive promoter to prevent the formation of holin multimers from basal expression. When the device is off, higher expression of antiholin compared to holin is required for better stability of the device.
[Pcon].[Antiholin].[terminator] was assembled first, and then assembled with [T4 holin].[terminator]; Constitutive expression of antiholin is required before assembling holin.
The sequence was obtained by applying all mutations that upregulated AraC binding and subsequent promoter activity listed in reference [1].
pBAD is an E.coli promoter that is induced by L-arabinose. K206000 is a mutagenized pBAD promoter that is responsive to lower concentrations of arabinose than wild type (<partinfo>I13453</partinfo>) and, additionally, exhibits a higher maximum of protein expression as measured by coupling to a fluorescent reporter.
There were no special design considerations.
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.

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.
**highly** engineered mutant of red fluorescent protein from Discosoma striata (coral)
Campbell et al., PNAS v99 p7877 URL
monomeric RFP: Red Fluorescent Protein. Excitation peak: 584 nm Emission peak: 607 nm
TAATAA double stop codon added (DE). Four silent mutations made to remove three EcoRI sites and one PstI site: A28G, A76G, A349G, G337A.
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.

Holins from T4 bacteriophage assemble together to form pores on inner membrane of bacteria allowing lysozyme to reach periplasm and degrade peptidoglycan layer.
Making composite part of rbs.holin is problematic unless antiholin is expressed in bacteria together. Antiholin binds holin and inhibits the formation of holin.
Enterobacteria phage T4 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/viewer.fcgi?val=29366675&from=66503&to=66997&view=gbwithparts
The lysozyme from enterobacteria phage T4 degrades peptidoglycan layer.
High expression of lysozyme only is toxic to bacteria.
Enterobacteria phage T4 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/viewer.fcgi?val=29366675&from=59202&to=59495&view=gbwithparts
Antiholin binds holin and prevents holin multimers from forming pores on the inner membrane of bacteria.
Higher constitutive expression of antiholin compared to the expression of holin is required for the stable lysis device.
