Hypothetical part from the 2016 Newcastle iGEM Project.
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.

Elowitz, M. B. Transport, Assembly, and Dynamics in Systems of Interacting Proteins. Thesis, Princeton Univ., Princeton (1999).
Coding region for the cI repressor based on cI repressor from bacteriophage lambda modified with an LVA tail for rapid degradation of the protein. cI repressor binds to the cI regulator (BBa_R0051).

It has been modified to include a rapid degradation LAA tail, and includes the BioBrick standard assembly head and tail restriction sites. The RBS has been removed. The stop codon has been changed from TAA to a double stop codon TAATAA.

The 434 cI repressor protein coding sequence is a 710 base-pair sequence with the standard RBS-compatible BioBrick prefix and the standard BioBrick suffix sections on its ends. It binds to the 434 regulatory sequence, BBa_R0052. The sequence contains a LVA tag for faster degredation and has no RBS.

Artificial terminator, estimated %T~>90% *8bp stem, 6nt loop *Bidirectional, estimated reverse %T~>90%
Bidirectional, with the reverse estimated to be less effective than the forward. Has a polyA tail of 9 residues.
Superfolder GFP was originally described by: Pedelacq et al (2006): "Engineering and characterization of a superfolder green fluorescent protein", Nature Biotech 24 (1) January 2006 This version was synthesised de novo (by Geneart).
This is the coding sequence of superfolder GFP (Pedelacq et al (2006): "Engineering and characterization of a superfolder green fluorescent protein", Nature Biotech 24 (1) January 2006). It carries the following amino acid changes with respect to mut3 GFP (E0040), the currently most commonly used GFP in the registry: S30R, Y39N, F64L, G65T, F99S, N105T, Y145F, M153T, V163A, I171V, A206V Its in-vivo properties are considerably improved with respect to mut3 - it develops fluorescence about 3fold faster than mut3 GFP and reaches 4fold higher absolute fluorescence levels. Fluorescenct colonies can be identified with the naked eye even without UV or blue light illumination (that is to say the amount of blue light in normal daylight or lablight is sufficient). Additionally it is more stable in vitro and refolds faster after in vitro denaturation with respect to mut3 GFP. Note: Superfolder GFP is available in constructs driven by the pBAD and T7 promoters: part numbers I746908 and I746909 respectively. Additionally 6-his tagged versions for protein purification exist: I746914 (pBAD driven) and I746915 (T7 driven).
Codon optimisation before de novo synthesis was carried out for both, E.coli and Bacillus subtilis.

Modified lamdba Prm promoter (repressed by 434 cI)
Lamdba Prm promoter modified to be activated by lamda repressor (cI) and repressed by 434 repressor (cI)
The O-R1 region of 434 contained 14 base pairs as opposed to the 17 base pairs of the O-R3 site of lambda. Also, it was noticed that the O-R3 site of the lambda included part of the -10 site. Hence, to preserve the spacing and the -10 site, the three nucleotides that were in both the -10 site and the lambda O-R3 site were retained. The 14 nucleotides that were in the O-R3 site and not in the -10 site were replaced with the O-R1 site of the 434.
