AND GATE lacP+SupD+AraC+RBS(J44001)+T7ptag
This is a AND GATE in the Ecoli stain JM109. Use IPTG to induce the transcription of SupD and use arabinose to induce the transcription of T7ptag. If the SupD tRNA is existent, T7ptag can be translated into functional T7 polymerase, and otherwise the translation of T7ptag will come to stop because of some amber stop codon mutations in the T7ptag. The T7 polymerase will activate a T7 promoter. Note: this AND gate make use of the lacI on the F plasmid of JM109, and because of the instability of the F plasmid, the leakage of lacP is significant. For improvement, a lacI generator can be assemble into it. This gate only works on low copy plasmid, such as pSB4K5, due to the lacI on the F plasmid. This gate is only one of nine gates(K228823-K228831), which are different in the RBS of T7ptag.

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.
Double terminator consisting of BBa_B0010 and BBa_B0012
Reverse RBS (RBSrev) -- corresponds to BBa_B0030
Repeats in oligos caused unusual products during cloning
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)
AraC protein(reversed sequence) and Pbad promoter
This part contains AraC protein generator(BBa_K228008) and Pbad promoter(BBa_I13453). The expression of any coding sequence following the Pbad promoter is repressed constitutively by AraC protein and induced by L-arabinose.
The maximum concentration of L-arabinose we tested is 10^-4 M.
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.
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.
This part could be connected to a protein coding sequence so that the expression could be induced by L-arabinose
