If a lambda phage infects a bacteria, it will express protein CI and Cro. The CI will activate the promoter pRM and the anticro and the lysis(for E7 colicin) will be produced. The anticro is the antisense RNA of cro and can repress the expression of cro. The lysis can destroy the inner membrane and activate the OMPLA(Outer Membrane Phospholipase, an enzyme in many Gram-negative bacteria) to destroy the outer membrane. Then the host infected and the lambda phage will die.
The protein lysis will be expressed if protein CI activates the promoter pRM.
The RNA polymerase will start transcripting the antisense RNA of cro if there is protein CI activated the promoter pRM.
Double terminator consisting of BBa_B0010 and BBa_B0012
Modified lambda Prm promoter (OR-3 obliterated)
Lambda Prm promoter modified to be activated but not repressed by the lambda repressor (cI)
In wild type lambda phage, the OR3 site (-27 to -11) reads "tatcccttgcggtgata" on the sense strand of DNA. To prevent lambda repressor (cI) from binding to this site, the 4th through 10th nt of OR3 were replaced by the 7 nt between OR2 and OR1, "aaatagt" (-57 to -51), which in effect mutates 5 nt of the promoter. These nt were chosen to be about halfway between the -10 and -35 boxes of the promoter. Furthermore, since these nt already act as a spacer in wild-type phage, it is hoped they will not create undesired interactions.
You can use this DNA to produce an antisense RNA to inhibit the expression of the protein Cro from lambda phage.
You need a promoter and a terminator but no RBS.
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.

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.
Lysis gene (promotes lysis in colicin-producing bacteria strain)
This lysis gene encodes for the lysis protein in colicin-producing strains of bacteria. Once activated, it causes the host cell to lyze. It also removes the immunity protein out of colicin, and hence, activates the endonuclease activity of the colicin.
