This part was constructed as an intermediate in the construction of one of our control.
A synthetic oscillatory network of transcriptional regulators , Elowitz M.B. , Leibler S., Nature(403),335-38: 2000
The cI regulated promoter is based on the pR promtoer from bacteriohage lambda. The promoter has two two DNA binding sites for lambda cI repressor <bb_part>BBa_C0051</bb_part>. cI binding results in repression of transcription. The specific sequence used here is based on the cI repressible promoter used in the Elowitz repressilator (and references therein).
In order to address concerns about the promoter transcribing in the reverse direction, we have removed the -35 and -10 signals responsible for the promoter activity in the reverse direction. (More details needed here! DE, 2/24/03) Incompatible with host expressing cI repressor.

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. 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.

GFP (mut3b) with AAV-ssrA degradation tag
GFP comes from part BBa_E0040, tag sequence was obtained from part I11012, but same tag was also used in paper by Andersen et al., (1998).[2]
GFP (mut3b) (see part BBa_E0040) with added AAV-ssrA degradation tag (part BBa_I11012). The tag increases RFP turn-over rate, thus providing better temporal resolution of red fluorescence. In the same time, maximal fluorescence amplitudes will be lower as newly formed protein is degraded as soon as it is formed. The tag encodes peptide sequence AANDENYAAAV and is recognized by ClpA and ClpX unfoldases and ClpX mediator SspB.[1] ClpA and ClpX then form a proteosome-like complex with ClpP protease and the protein is degraded.[1] The final three residues of the tag determines the strength of interaction with ClpX and thus the final protein degradation rate.[2] The AAV tag is reported to lead to reasonably fast protein degradation, degrading GFP with rate -0.012 per minute.[2] However, be aware that exact protein degradation rate depends on multiple factors: ClpXP and ClpAP protease and SspB mediator concentrations, protein stability, Km of binding to the protease, temperature [3].

The tag was attached to RFP using PCR and MABEL (mutagenesis with blunt-end ligation), thus avoiding introduction of additonal residues and restriction site. Different parts of the tag are recognized by different proteins, for example, the final 3 residues (AAV in this case) are recognised by ClpX, whereas first 4 residues of the tag are required for efficient SspB binding.[1] Thus modifications of these critical residues alter the efficacy with what different proteases bind to it.
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.
