Genomic sequence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, iGEM part registry
The toggle switch controls expression of the BeeT???s toxin between an off-state and an on-state, which can be switched with two stimulus, guanine (or vitamin B12) and blue light.
we constructed a regulatory system that could be applied into real beehive and it integrates mite sensing with light-control device, which could provide a stable output of toxin expression with fast responsiveness.
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.
mRFP reporter with RBS(BBa_K1491009) tagged with wild type ssrA degradation tag (BBa_M0050), which make the protein susceptible to very fast degradation through SspB-mediated binding to the ClpX protease as well as ClpA protease.
Making a mRFP coding sequence with fast degradation tag, which is easy for people to use it.
Synthetic ptet-FixK2 hybrid promoter with RBS
genomic sequence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum
Synthetic ptet-FixK2 hybrid promoter is the promoter that could not only be activated by light sensors YF1-FixJ composite and but inhibited by TetR repressor. The sequence of upper control element is from wild type FixK2 hybrid promoter on genomic sequence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, which contains two typical FixJ boxes. And core element region is replaced by core element region of BBa_J23106. Addition tet operators are inserted into core element region of promoter as second control element that results in transcription repression.
According to some previous iGEM projects (UNITN-Trento 2013, INSA-Toulouse 2013), the transcription activity of the wild type Fixk2 promoter is so weak that they all added an inverter part to control their target gene expression. Even the original pDusk system in darkness has only 5 times expression levels than in light conditions. Therefore, we decided to enhance the transcriptional activity of the Fixk2 promoter by changing the core element region of the wild type Fixk2 by adding a strong constitutive promoter (BBa_J23106) from iGEM part registry and by adding two typical FixJ boxes into the -40 to -70 region.
Guanine riboswitches BS-yxjA negatively modulate transcription upon guanine binding.BS-yxjA variant displays a higher 2AP affinity with an increase of 13-fold relative to other variants in vitro test.
According to Mulhbacher J et al, riboswitches BS-yxjA showed wide range sensitivity of Guanine concentration in vitro test.
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.
represillator of Elowitz and Leibler (2000)
Coding region for the LacI protein with an LVA degradation tail and without an RBS. LacI binds to the pLac regulator <bb_part>BBa_R0010</bb_part> and PLlac01 hybrid regulator <bb_part>BBa_R0011</bb_part> and inhibits transcription. IPTG (Isopropylthiogalactoside) binds to LacI and inhibits its operation, therefore promoting transcription. A rapid degredation tail (LVA) has been added to improve the High to Low performance of this part.

[ELOW00] Sequence taken from the repressilator of Elowitz and Leibler (2000). The obtained sequence was compared to the wild-type sequence for LacI obtained through a database search. The sequence had been modified from the wild-type in that wild-type GTG start was changed to an ATG start (note, actual ORF in E.coli has several GTG starts it would seem). The LVA tag has been added for quicker degradation. Incompatible with systems containing LacI, lactose, or IPTG.

Coding region for the TetR protein without the Ribosome Binding Site. Modified with an LVA tail for rapid degradation of the protein and faster fall time for the emission. TetR binds to the pTet regulator (BBa_R0040). aTc (anhydrotetracycline) binds to TetR and inhibits its operation.
