Latest revision as of 20:38, 26 July 2006
Already measured with SP1.0 (I13534.pSB1A2)
- Q04400.007 - mutated Q04400 (tetR QPI), point mutation in RBS. Works well, switches later than Q04400.
- mnt inverters from enterobacteriophage p22 [1, 2]
- Note: The promoter used in these inverters is missing base 13 in its 17-bp operator site [2], though I think they meant to include it (they reference the article and mention it in the registry). It's also missing a -35 site.
- Q04720 - mnt inverter, strong repressor - output not very high, and doesn't appear to be doing much (picture)
- Q04730 - mnt inverter, weak repressor - output not very high, and doesn't appear to be doing much (picture)
Measured with older versions of screening plasmid (I13537.pSB1A2, I13538.pSB1A2, or I13534.pSB4A3)
- tetR inverters [3, 4]
- Q04400 - works reliably (quantitatively), switches at low input.
- Q03400 - weaker RBS driving tetR. Looks like it starts to switch, but very high GFP gives very high RFP numbers. Unclear what's happening.
- Q01400 - weakest RBS. Generally looks like it's stuck in the high-output stage. Some evidence suggests it might be switching, however.
- p22 cII inverters
- penI inverters [5, 6] from bacillus licheniformis
To be measured/constructed/etc
- I14103 (Q04740-Q04400.007) - bistable switch one way
- I14104 (Q04400.007-Q04740) - bistable switch the other way - having trouble getting it cloned in this direction (tetR-penI) - weird stuff happening with growth rate and trying to prep the final plasmid, though colony PCR looks fine - load issues?
- Q04510 - lambda cI inverter, ligated into the screening plasmid, but somehow missed being characterized. Seems unlikely to work, but hasn't been tested.
- Q07400/Q08400/Q09400 - tetR inverters using RBS's from the Voigt lab. Not BB'd, and previous attempts were unsuccessful.
