Constitutive LuxR with AHL-inducible GFP
We used Part J61100, a ribosome binding site from Part J23100, Part C0062 to promote C0062, Part K83017 to put a Terminator behind LuxR, and Part J37032 to produce GFP.
Part BBa_K1584026 is a reporter part that releases green fluorescent light. It produces two proteins, first LuxR and GFP. LuxR is constantly produced with constitutive promoter J61100. When AHL is present, it binds to LuxR. The resulting compound binds to the LuxRP promoter, producing green fluorescent proteins. It includes Parts J61100, a ribosome binding site with a constitutive promoter from Part J23100 inputted, to promote the production of LuxR, C0062. The terminator behind LuxR was from Part K83017. Part J37032 was used as a GFP DNA segment controlled by the LuxRP promoter, to produce GFP.
In order to properly produce the LuxR protein, we put a terminator behind LuxR. We also had two XbaI sites at J61100, so when we tried to cut using EcoRI and XbaI, there was a chance that the constitutive promoter could be eliminated, which we had to consider.
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.

GFP expression controlled by LuxR promoter
Parts ligated from existing parts in registry
This forms a GFP coding region which is controlled by the pLuxR promoter. This part will be used to form J37020, a test construct for the polycistronic predator cell (Imperial College iGEM 2006)
This is a copy of the Part:B0014. Only here the part is cloned in the standard vector pSB1C3 instead of the pSB1AK3.
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">
Double terminator consisting of BBa_B0012 and BBa_B0011
Derived from luxICDABEG operon terminator of Vibrio fischeri <genbank>AF170104</genbank>.
Bidirectional transcriptional terminator consisting of a 22 bp stem-loop.
In the naturally-occuring sequence there is a mismatch in the stem of the stem loop. This can be corrected via an A->G mutation (at position 40 -- sequence coordinate/not MFOLD coordinate). The above sequence does not reflect this mutation (but the MFOLD image does). This terminator's location cannot be found using some inverted repeat detectors like PALINDROME because it is too short and contains a mismatch. This one was found with the help of Tom Knight. It lies between two coding regions that point towards eachother.
