Description
This part is used for 2016 WM iGEM Ribozyme Characterization project. Lou et. al showed that sequences in the 5' UTR of a gene can affect the input-output relationship (transfer function) of a circuit. The RiboJ serves as an insulator to generalize the transfer function of a circuit regardless of promoter. The part is used in combination with BBa_K2066016 (constitutive Lac Repressor) to look at input-output relationship of IPTG-cIGFP.
Notes
We made this part for our Ribozyme Characterization project to see the effect of adding a RiboJ (ribozyme insulator) sequence in the 5' UTR on the input-ouput relationship (transfer function).
Source
The promoter, RBS, RiboJ, and cI-GFP sequences were derived and modified from Lou et. al 2012 "Ribozyme-based insulator parts buffer synthetic circuits from genetic context". The UNS sequences are from Torella et al. 2013.
