Built by Josh as an intermediate in screening plasmid construction.
This device is a PoPS in -> pcyA out with Pomp promoter downstream. Pomp (BBa_R0082) is a positively regulated, OmpR-controlled promoter. Phosphorylated OmpR binds to the three operator sites and activates transcription. Proteins pcyA, ho1 and cph8 can produce a photosensitive complex that can activate the endogenous transcription factor OmpR. So, light (in particular 660 nm radiation) is an indirect repressor of Pomp. These interactions are valid if used in E.coli deficient in natural EnvZ, because EnvZ can activate OmpR. {|align="center" |}
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.
Positively regulated, OmpR-controlled promoter. This promoter is taken from the upstream region of ompC. Phosphorylated OmpR binds to the three operator sites and activates transcription.
The promoter includes the three OmpR binding sites: C1, C2, and C3. The promoter starts at -107 and goes up to the transcriptional start site at +1. An alternate version, BBa_R0083, cuts out the C2 and C3 sites. The efficacy of this promoter versus the truncated ompC upstream region (BBa_R0083) or the ompF upstream region (BBa_R0084) is currently unknown.

RBS.1 (strong) -- modified from R. Weiss
Strong RBS based on Ron Weiss thesis. Strength is considered relative to <bb_part>BBa_B0031</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_B0032</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_B0033</bb_part>.
Varies from -6 to +1 region from original sequence to accomodate BioBricks suffix ("orig" in figure 4-14 of Ron Weiss thesis). 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.
