This part is a combination of IPTG input and ara input. The subparts of this part are from iGEM Distribution Kits.
This is the input part of AND GATE. After being induced by L-arabinose, pbad promoter activates the expression of T7 RNA polymerase which contains two amber mutations (T7 ptag) . After being induced by IPTG, plac promoter activates the expression of a special tRNA (supD), which is used to identify amber mutation. In the wild-type E.coli, amber mutation will inhibit the translation of T7 RNA polymerase. Therefore, only when the two inputs exist together, T7 RNA polymerase can be expressed, and then T7 promoter can be activated to express the downstream gene.
PT7(BBa_K1321338) contains T7 promoter and RBS(B0034, which enables easy addition to any coding part which does not already have these parts.
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
RBS.4 (weaker) -- derivative of BBa_0030
Weaker RBS based on Ron Weiss thesis. Strengths relative to <bb_part>BBa_B0030</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_B0031</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_B0032</bb_part>.
Varies from -6 to +1 region from original sequence to accomodate BioBricks suffix ("RBS-3" in figure 4-14 of 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.

Amplified by PCR from <partinfo>BBa_J54103</partinfo>
This is GFP from Biobrick <partinfo>BBa_J54103</partinfo>, which we have sequenced and re-cloned to RFC[10] standard in pSB1C3.
T7ptag(T7polymerase with amber mutation)
The T7ptag is standardlized from the plasmid kindly provided by Voigt Lab.
T7ptag is a coding sequence of T7 polymerase with 2 Amber mutations. The transcription of T7ptag gene can only lead to the generation of its mRNA, further translation into T7 RNA polymerase is blocked because of the amber mutation. Only in the presence of the Amber mutation suppressor BBa_K228001 SupD-tRNA, it can be translated into functional T7 polymerase. T7ptag is a component of the AND Gate constructed by the Voigt Lab(UCSF)
SupD-tRNA again is from Voigt Lab(UCSF), We standardlize this part by PCR strategy.
The SupD-tRNA part functions as a tRNA, it suppresses the TAG amber stop codon and translate it into a Ser. There is no need to assembly SupD-tRNA with a rbs, since it is not translated. This part, together with the T7ptag part, make an AND Gate, that is, in the presence of both the 2 parts, T7 polymerase is tranlated into a functional polymerase that transcrips a downstream element constructed after a T7 promoter. Which is the output of the AND Gate.
There is a PstI site in the original sequence, but luckily it is near the 3' end of this part, so we designed a mutation in our primer and mutated the PstI site.
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.
