<p>For this part of the project we will have one main biobrick, which will be the construct required for the two-step markerless insertion, encompassing <i>cat</i> (chloramphenicol resistance) and <i>sacB</i> (prevents growth on sucrose).</p>
+
<p>For <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:Edinburgh/Project">the BRIDGE protocol</a> we have one main <a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K322922">BioBrick</a>, which is the construct <b>required</b> for the two-step markerless insertion, a composite construct of <i>cat</i> (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K322210">chloramphenicol resistance</a>) and <i>sacB</i> (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K322921">prevention of growth on sucrose</a>).</p>
-
<p>Chloramphenicol resistance has already been well characterised in the registry, so our characterisation has mainly focused on <i>sacB</i>.</p>
+
<p>In addition, we <b>submitted</b> the <a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K322705">up-</a> and <a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K322706">downstream</a> sequences of an example of a useful gene to be removed from the <i>E. coli</i> genome using the BRIDGE protocol: <i>tnaA</i>, which produces indole, such that when it is removed <i>E. coli</i> no longer <b>smells</b>!</p>
-
<p>In addition we will probably be submitting the construct with the up- and down- stream sequences of useful genes which can be removed, e.g. tnaA, which produces indole - when removed <i>E. coli</i> no longer smells!</p>

BioBricks: Genomic BRIDGEs


For the BRIDGE protocol we have one main BioBrick, which is the construct required for the two-step markerless insertion, a composite construct of cat (chloramphenicol resistance) and sacB (prevention of growth on sucrose).

In addition, we submitted the up- and downstream sequences of an example of a useful gene to be removed from the E. coli genome using the BRIDGE protocol: tnaA, which produces indole, such that when it is removed E. coli no longer smells!


Name Type Link Description
cat Translational Unit BBa_K322210 Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (chloramphenicol resistance gene).
sacB Translational Unit BBa_K322921 Bacillus subtilis levansucrase, lethal to E. coli in the presence of sucrose.
cat-sacB construct Composite BBa_K322922 Construct necessary for BRIDGE protocol.
tnaA upstream region Other BBa_K322705 Upstream region of E. coli tryptophanase locus, used for targetting genes to this locus using BRIDGE.
tnaA downstream region Other BBa_K322706 Downstream region of E. coli tryptophanase locus, used for targetting genes to this locus using BRIDGE.


BioBricks: Bacterial BRIDGEs


The light-sensing and light-production BioBricks of various emission / absorbance wavelengths developed in the FORTH light communication framework are listed below. A few are resubmissions of existing parts (noted as such in their descriptions), whilst others are composite devices with promoters and reporter systems.

The BioBricks for red light production are two variants of mutated firefly luciferase (S284T and 356K) and their composite reporter systems.


Name Type Link Description
Firefly luciferase S284T mutant Coding BBa_K322246 Firefly luciferase from Photinus pyralis mutated towards the red spectrum.
S284T mutant luciferase under lac promoter Composite BBa_K322247 Lac promoter followed by firefly luciferase S284T mutant.
Firefly luciferase 356K mutant Coding BBa_K322211 Firefly luciferase S284T mutant from Photinus pyralis re-mutated towards the red spectrum.
356K mutant luciferase under lac promoter Composite BBa_K322212 Lac promoter followed by firefly luciferase 356K mutant.


The BioBricks for blue light production are corrected variants of the LuxAB, LuxCDE, and LumP proteins from Edinburgh 2009 in various combinations, contained in new plasmids and with various reporter systems.


Name Type Link Description
luxAB Translational Unit BBa_K322139 Bacterial luciferase producing blue light (from X. luminescens).
luxCDE Composite BBa_K322312 Codes for a fatty acid reductase complex that makes the fatty acids necessary for LuxAB.
lumP Translational Unit BBa_K322007 Lumazine protein to shift the wavelength of LuxAB to blue.

Throughout this wiki there are words in bold that indicate a relevance to human aspects. It will become obvious that human aspects are a part of almost everything in iGEM.
