this part was assambled from the devices we built ourselves
This part is the project system we used to slove the SPP. It refers to the coding of "111" in our graph
This part is assembled with standard bio-bricks from the distribution with the standard assembly protocol.
This part is a functional device with the input of LuxR & AHL and the out put of EGFP. The expression of the output signal will be activated if the protein LuxR and the small molecule exists the same time. We also detected a weak background expression of the EGFP in our test.
This part is a functional device with the input of LacI & IPTG and the out put of AraC. The expression of the output signal will be activated if the protein LacI and the small molecule IPTG exists the same time. This device will not work with the existence of glucose.We also added a Kpn I cutting site at each side of this part.
The bio-brick BBa_R0010 contains a cap-site so the the glucose will affect the expression of this device .So that a glucose-free culture should be used when using this part.
This part is a functional device with the input of AraC & arabinose and the out put of the protein LuxR. The expression of the output signal will be activated if the protein AraC and the small molecule arabinose exists the same time. This part may not work when the glucose exists in the culture.
The BBa_R0080 we used in the device contains a cup-site so that the glucose may affect the work of this device. So, glucose-free culture is suggested to be used if you want to use this device.

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.
RBS.1 (strong) -- modified from R. Weiss
Strong RBS based on Ron Weiss thesis. Strength is considered relative to <bb_part>BBa_B0031</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 ("orig" in figure 4-14 of Ron Weiss thesis). No secondary structures are formed in the given RBS region.

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">

Cla I cutting site (methylation insensitive)
The coding of the Cla I cutting site is open-accessed.
This part is the cutting site of the restriction endonuclease Cla I. The endonuclease Cla I can specifically recognize the sequence of this part and cut the double helix into two cohesive ends. You can use this part when you are trying to add an extra cutting site inside of your system in order to make it open-edited.
The original cutting site is sensitive to methylation, we re-engineered the sequence so that the methylation will not affect the cutting of Cla I.
The coding of the SalI cutting site is open-accessed
This part is the cutting site of the restriction endonuclease Kpn I. The endonuclease Kpn I can specifically recognize the sequence of this part and cut the double helix into two cohesive ends. You can use this part when you are trying to add an extra cutting site inside of your system in order to make it open-edited.
V. fischeri <genbank>AF170104</genbank>
In complex with HSL, LuxR binds to the Lux promoter, activating transcription from Pr <bb_part>BBa_R0062</bb_part>, and repressing transcription from Pl <bb_part>BBa_R0063</bb_part>. 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 activator, LuxR complexed to HSL. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules the signalling compound homoserine lactone (HSL). This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.
2 silent point mutants were introduced in the coding sequence to remove internal XbaI and PstI sites. Mutation sites were chosen to replace codons commonly used in E. coli with codons used at a similar frequency.
represillator of Elowitz and Leibler (2000)
Coding region for the LacI protein with an LVA degradation tail and without an RBS. LacI binds to the pLac regulator <bb_part>BBa_R0010</bb_part> and PLlac01 hybrid regulator <bb_part>BBa_R0011</bb_part> and inhibits transcription. IPTG (Isopropylthiogalactoside) binds to LacI and inhibits its operation, therefore promoting transcription. A rapid degredation tail (LVA) has been added to improve the High to Low performance of this part.

[ELOW00] Sequence taken from the repressilator of Elowitz and Leibler (2000). The obtained sequence was compared to the wild-type sequence for LacI obtained through a database search. The sequence had been modified from the wild-type in that wild-type GTG start was changed to an ATG start (note, actual ORF in E.coli has several GTG starts it would seem). The LVA tag has been added for quicker degradation. Incompatible with systems containing LacI, lactose, or IPTG.

AraC operator, truncated to include araO1, araI1, araI2, c-amp1, and c-amp2 sites. This operator should *activate* transcription in the presence of AraC; b/c the operator lacks the araO2 site, there should not be araC-mediated repression.

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.
