BioBricks names give you information about the kind of BioBrick and it is a good way to work with a big quantity of parts (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Help:BioBrick_Part_Names" target="_blank">see more</a>).

BioBricks names give you information about the kind of BioBrick and it is a good way to work with a big quantity of parts (see more). But it is hard to write these long names in a microcentrifuge tube! That is why we used a second numerical name for each part. Numerical names are easier to work with in the lab and also to organize the work. You will see this code next to standard names. This will help you to understand other issues of Bacterial Crowding project, like Circuits and Devices.

New BioBricks
  Part Number iGEM ID Identity Type Origin Description
Prh System UPO-04 prhA Coding sequence Synthesis Ralstonia solanacearum gene prhA, encoding an outer membrane protein that senses a signal on plant cell walls and transduces it through the bacterial cell envelop to stimulate transcription from several operons. Optimized sequence to be expressed in Escherichia coli.
UPO-05 prhR Coding sequence Synthesis Ralstonia solanacearum gene prhR, encoding a membrane signal transduction protein involved in the Prh pathway. The nondiffusible plant cell wall signal is transduced by the N-terminal extension of PrhA to the C-terminal part of the transmembrane protein PrhR and then through PrhR across the cytoplasmic membrane. Optimized sequence to be expressed in Escherichia coli.
UPO-06 prhI Coding sequence Synthesis Ralstonia solanacearum gene prhI, encoding an ECF sigma factor responsible for transcription dependent on the Prh signal transduction system. PrhI is activated by PrhR and then the sigma factor induces the expression by activating PprhJ promoter. Optimized sequence to be expressed in Escherichia coli.
UPO-11 PprhJ Promoter Synthesis The PprhJ promoter region, responsive to plant cell contact via signal transduction by PrhA and PrhR and activation by ECF sigma factor PrhI. Optimized sequence to be expressed in Escherichia coli.
Hybrid Protein UPO-07 fecA-prhA Coding sequence Synthesis Artificial coding sequence spanning the first 92 codons of fecA, encoding the signal peptide (aa. 1-33), the proposed Ton-box (aa. 54-63), fused to the distal end of the prhA coding sequence at the conserved GSGL motif (aa. 89-92). This hybrid protein allows to sense nondifusible signals and to transduce it by the well known Fec pathway. Optimized sequence to be expressed in Escherichia coli.
Fec System UPO-08 fecA Coding sequence Finally not made Gene fecA of Escherichia coli, encoding an outer membrane ferric citrate sensor that initiates signal transduction via FecR and FecI to activate transcription.
UPO-28 fecI & fecR Two overlapping coding sequences Finally not made fecI and fecR genes of Escherichia coli, encoding an ECF sigma factor and a membrane signal transduction protein respectively, involved in signal transduction of the ferric citrate-dependent Fec system. They have been synthesized in the same Biobrick because of their 4 bp overlap, not to reduce their expression. FecR protein interacts with the outer membrane sensor FecA and activates the sigma factor FecI, which acts over PfecA promoter region.
UPO-12 PfecA Promoter Made by PCR Escherichia coli PfecA promoter region, repressed by Fur under iron excess, and induced by ferric citrate through the FecA-FecR signal transduction pathway and the FecI ECF sigma factor.
UPO-09 fecI Coding sequence Made by PCR Gene fecI of Escherichia coli, encoding an ECF sigma factor used to regulate transcription in response to the FecA-FecR signal transduction pathway in response to ferric citrate
UPO-10 fecR Coding sequence Finally not made Gene fecR from Escherichia coli, encoding a membrane protein involved in signal transduction of the ferric citrate-dependent Fec system to stimulate transcription via the ECF sigma factor FecI
Glutamate Synthetase UPO-17 gltD Coding sequence Finally not made Escherichia coli gltD gene, encoding glutamate synthase beta subunit. Glutamate synthetase converts glutamine + 2-oxoglutarate into glutamate. Glutamate is a source of amine groups via transamination, and a chemoattractant for E. coli.
UPO-18 gltB Coding sequence Made by PCR Escherichia coli gltB gene, encoding glutamate synthase alpha subunit. Glutamate synthetase converts glutamine + 2-oxoglutarate into glutamate. Glutamate is a source of amine groups via transamination, and a chemoattractant for E. coli.

Expression UPO-01 Strong Promoter Promoter Self-annealing primers Constitutive strong promoter. We ordered it like a primer to make our work easier.
UPO-02 RBS.1 (strong) Shine-Dalgarno Self-annealing primers Strong RBS based on Ron Weiss thesis.
UPO-03 rrnBT1-T7TE Terminator (double) 2010P1; 23L A reliable double transcription terminator.
Reporters UPO-13 GFP Coding sequence 2010P1; 14K Green fluorescent protein derived from jellyfish Aequeora victoria wild-type. It is used to report the expression behind some promoters.
UPO-20 Ptet-SD-GFP-TT-TT Composite (constitutive protein generator) 2010P2; 8A Constitutive GFP generator. It allows to see bacteria easier and also quantificating their amount.
Chemoattractants Synthesis UPO-16 aspA Coding sequence 2010P2; 17A Coding secuence for Aspartate ammonia-lyase enzyme.  AspA aminates fumarate to make aspartate. Aspartate can be used as a bacterial chemotaxis signal for Escherichia coli.
UPO-19 SD-pchBA-TT-TT Composite (protein generator) 2010P2;15I PchA & PchB enzyme generator takes as input a transcriptional signal (PoPS) and produces as output the PchA and PchB enzymes that catalyze production of salicylate from the cellular metabolite chorismate. Salicylate can be used as a bacterial chemotaxis signal for Pseudomonas putidas.
