E. Coli Codon Optimized fdCAS9 under R0010
Thanks to team iGEM13_SJTU-BioX-Shanghai for original, non-codon optimized dCas9 sequence.
This sequence codes for dCas9 and is codon optimized for E. Coli. It is under the promoter R0010 and has RBS B0034 and DT B0015.
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.
Double terminator consisting of BBa_B0010 and BBa_B0012
The basic template for the sgRNA sequence was taken from the supplementary information of Qi LS, Larson MH, Gilbert LA, et al. Repurposing CRISPR as an RNA-Guided Platform for Sequence-Specific Control of Gene Expression. Cell. 2013;152(5):1173-1183. doi:10.1016/j.cell.2013.02.022.
This sgRNA sequence was designed to target the Promoter Bba_R0010 with the N20 sequence atgttgtgtggaattgtgag. The part is under the control of the promoter Bba_J23100. If this gRNA is expressed in a cell with a form of the dCas9 protein, the protein will be targeted to the N20 sequence and repress gene expression. Expression of this part is repressed in the presence of LacI and CAP protein.
Ensure the promoter targeted by this part is not used within this part.
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.
