N-peptide from phage lambda. This protein coding sequence functions in a phage transcriptional termination control mechanism, by binding to an RNA stem loop (B-box [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K385005 Part:BBa_K385005]) in a sequence specific manner. This peptide can be used as part of a translational control strategy for eukaryote gene expression. The B-box sequence should be placed in the 5' leader of a gene whose expression is to be controlled, and the N-peptide is expressed in trans to regulate ribosomal scanning.

This part encodes a sequence that is capable of forming a stem loop in the mRNA. Moreover, this stem loop is bound in a sequence and structure-specific manner by the N-peptide sequence (see part numbers [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K385003 BBa_K385003] and [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K385004 BBa_K385004]). The mRNA stem sequence is derived from phage lambda, and forms part of a transcriptional termination attenuation system. This stem loop encoding sequence can be used as part of a eukaryote gene expression control strategy. Insertion of this stem loop into the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of a target gene (i.e. between the transcript start site and the AUG translation initiation site) will allow this mRNA to be actively translated in the absence of the N-peptide sequence. However, expression of the N-peptide in trans will allow N-peptide binding to the B-box stem, causing translational attenuation by inhibition of ribosome scanning along the 5'UTR.

[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K385005 Part:BBa_K385005]: B-box sequence encoding a regulatory mRNA stem loop

Length: 56 bp

Part type: Regulatory


Part information

This part encodes a sequence that is capable of forming a stem loop in the mRNA. Moreover, this stem loop is bound in a sequence and structure-specific manner by the N-peptide sequence (see part numbers [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K385003 BBa_K385003] and [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K385004 BBa_K385004]). The mRNA stem sequence is derived from phage lambda, and forms part of a transcriptional termination attenuation system. This stem loop encoding sequence can be used as part of a eukaryote gene expression control strategy. Insertion of this stem loop into the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of a target gene (i.e. between the transcript start site and the AUG translation initiation site) will allow this mRNA to be actively translated in the absence of the N-peptide sequence. However, expression of the N-peptide in trans will allow N-peptide binding to the B-box stem, causing translational attenuation by inhibition of ribosome scanning along the 5'UTR.
