Built by joining different standardized biobricks together
The part is T7 promoter->RBS->cI->Terminator. K228241 is added to the T7 promoter vector to construct this part. We also have constructed a few similar parts with various RBS, which would make the expression regulation of cI gene more convenient by choosing different parts.
The length of T7 promoter part is quite small, so it should be digested to a vector and attached to the RBS+cI+Terminator insert.
T7 promoter (strong promoter from T7 bacteriophage)
T7 promoter is very specific promoter which is transcribed only by specific T7 RNA polymerase. Usually this promoter is used in expression systems where T7 promoter is cotransfected with T7 RNA polymerase. That ensures strong transcription of desired genes.
The part is RBS->cI->Terminator. K228236 is added to the RBS BBa_B0030 to construct this part. We also have constructed a few similar parts with various RBS, which would make the expression regulation of cI gene more convenient by choosing different parts.
The length of RBS part is quite small, so it should be digested to a vector and attached to the cI+Terminator insert.
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.

We have attached the cI insert to a terminator vector, which made the next step construction more convenient.
The length of terminator part is quite small, so it should be digested to a vector and attached to the cI insert.
cI repressor from E. coli phage lambda (+LVA)
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.

Double terminator consisting of BBa_B0010 and BBa_B0012
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.
