IGEM:IMPERIAL/2008/Prototype/Wetlab/parts

• James Chappell: Just realised I cannot submit the promoters to the registry because unfortunately my account is for 2007. Ill update it later, but for now ill load to this page.

• Chris D Hirst 21:40, 27 August 2008 (EDT):Had a go at uploading a sequence to the registry last night with mixed results, will check on this later and improve...

• Chris D Hirst 04:02, 28 August 2008 (EDT):Did some more work, Part:K143001 is now up on the parts registry, I'l put it's sister part (part:BBa_K143002) up asap. Before we upload anymore however I think we should write out ALL the basic parts and asign them codes to prevent problems downstream. Linking via the bbpart system (see iGEM teams page on OWW) doesn't actually work....

Tom (or James) would it be possible for one of you to make a nice diagram (or two interlinking ones - 1 for 5', 1 for 3') to signify integration sequences?

• Chris D Hirst 07:36, 28 August 2008 (EDT):Ok, the <bbpart></bbpart> system does work, but only on registry pages....

Numbering/Coding Rules!

• Chris D Hirst 07:53, 28 August 2008 (EDT):All Imperial iGEM 2008 parts are currently being placed in our allocated K413000-K413999 space; the divisions our below, so when adding a part try to ensure it is placed in the correct section.

Adding Parts to the Registry

The registry has a simple guide about adding parts on the following link. Before we start to add our parts we should collect the following information about each of our parts:

• A part name
• The DNA sequence of the part you are making
• A short description of the part
• A long description of the part, including references
• The source of the part, including references
• Design Considerations

Most of this information is on the wiki under the Sequence Page. If the wet lab team could all contribute to adding these parts it would help speed things up. Once we have our parts we can then build up our constructs that we will be submitting to the registry.

Promoters

Promoter ctc

• Part name = promoter ctc
• Sequence =
• Promoter ctc is a sigma factor B dependent promoter found in B.subtilis. In B.subtilis endogenous sigma factor B is activated under mild stress from nutrient and physical stress response. The context with which we used the promoter ctc, was to take blue light as an input and give Polymerase Per Second(PoPS) as an output.

• Promoter ctc is a sigma factor B dependent promoter found in B.subtilis. In B.subtilis endogenous sigma factor B is activated under mild stress. These mild stress conditions can be generally split into nutrient stress response and physical stress response. Nutrient stress response is triggered by low levels of ATP and GTP and physical stress response is triggered by exposure to blue light, salt, heat, acid or ethanol[1]. The promoter ctc has been used previously as a read out for the activation of sigma factor B [2].
• The context with which we used the promoter ctc, was to take blue light as an input and give Polymerase Per Second(PoPS) as an output. To do this the other potential inputs need to be carefully controlled so that only blue light activated the sigma B and gives a PoPS output. In order to get sufficient sigma B activation by blue light the light receptor YtvA, part...., needs to be over expressed in B.subtilis [3].

• Source - The part was designed using the sequence from the B.subtilis genome and from previously published papers [2][3]. This sequence was then synthesised by Geneart.

• Design - Biobrick standard was applied to the promoter ctc sequence.

Promoter hyper-spank

• Part name = promoter hyper-spank
• Sequence =
• Promoter hyper-spank is an inducible promoter that has been designed for high expression in B.subtilis. Gene expression under the promoter hyper-spank can be induced by addition of Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The context with which we used the promoter hyper-spank, was to take an input of IPTG and give Polymerase Per Second(PoPS) as an output.

The context with which we used the promoter hyper-spank, was to take an input of IPTG and give Polymerase Per Second(PoPS) as an output. IPTG does not induce the promoter hyper-spank directly, but requires the transcriptional regulator LacI, (part K413035). This means that LacI must be constitutively expressed in B.subtilis in order to use the promoter hyper-spank.

Promoter 43

• Part name = promoter P43
• Sequence =
• Promoter P43 is constitutive promoter found in B.subtilis. The context with which we used the promoter P43 is as a Polymerase Per Second (PoPS) generator.

• Promoter 43 is a constitutive promoter that constitutively expresses the P43 protein in B.subtilis. This promoter has been shown to be recognized and active during the exponential and lag phases of growth. It has been hypothesized that the ability to recognize the promoter in exponential and lag phase of growth is due to the recognition of the promoter by both sigma factor 55 (the major sigma factor) and sigma factor 37 (the lag phase sigma factor)[1]. The P43 promoter has been previously used for constitutive expression of exogenous genes within B.subtilis vectors[2].
• The context with which we used the promoter P43 is as a Polymerase Per Second (PoPS) generator.

• Source - The part was designed using the sequence from the B.subtilis genome and from previously published papers [2]. This sequence was then synthesised by Geneart.

• Design - The biobrick part was designed to include the binding sites for both the sigma factor 55 and 37. In addition the biobrick standard was applied to the promoter P43 sequence.

Promoter Pveg

• Part name = promoter Pveg
• Sequence =
• Pveg constitutive promoter for B.subtilis.

• Pveg is a constitutive promoter that constitutively expresses the P43 protein in B.subtilis. Pveg contains binding sites for the B.sutbilis major sigma factor[1]. Pveg in B.subtilis utilises two binding sites to cause high expression of genes[2], however our Pveg is lacking the upstream site to give a medium level of gene expression. It has been noted that the sporulation master regulatoion factor spoOA interacts with Pveg though it is not known how[3].

• The context with which we used the promoter Pveg is as a Polymerase Per Second (PoPS) generator.

• Source - The Pveg promoter was suggested to us by Dr. Jan-Willem Veening of Newcastle University. This sequence supplied was compared to that of the DBTBS database[3] then a section containing the binding site synthesised by Geneart.

• Design - The biobrick part was designed to include a single binding site for the B.subtilis major sigma factor. In addition the biobrick standard was applied to the promoter Pveg sequence.

Integration Sequences

AmyE

5'

Name: 5’ AmyE Integration Sequence

Code: BBa_K143001

Sequence:

Short: 5’ integration sequence for the AmyE locus of B.subtilis

Long: Integration sequences allow DNA to be incorporated into the chromosome of a host cell at a specific locus using leading (5') and trailing (3') DNA sequences that are the same as those at a specific locus of the chromosome.The 5' integration sequence can be added to the front of a Biobrick construct and the 3' integration sequence specific for this locus (Part BBa_K143002) to the rear of the Biobrick construct to allow integration of the Biobrick construct into the chromosome of the gram positive bacterium B.subtilis.

The AmyE locus was the first locus used for integration into B.subtilis by Shimotsu and Henner[1] and is still commonly used in vectors such as pDR111[2], pDL[3] and their derivatives. Integration at the AmyE locus removes the ability of B.subtilis to break down starch, which can be assayed with iodine as described by Cutting and Vander-horn[4]. The 5' and 3' integration sequences for the AmyE locus were used to integrate the Imperial 2008 iGEM project primary construct into the B.sutbilis chromosome.

Source: The 5’ integration sequence was taken from the shuttle vector pDR111 which has been used in many studies on B.subtilis, in particular in the studies of transcriptional control[2, 5, 6]

Design: The AmyE integration sequence was taken from the vector after comparison by BLAST to the B.subtilis chromosome to identify the homologous sequences. The sequence present in both the host chromosome and the plasmid at the 5' end of the gene is the 5' sequence required for integration

EpsE

5'

Name: 5’ EpsE Integration Sequence

Code: BBa_K143005

Sequence:

Short: 5’ Integration Sequence for the EpsE locus of B.subtilis

Long: Integration sequences allow DNA to be incorporated into the chromosome of a host cell at a specific locus using leading (5') and trailing (3') DNA sequences that are the same as those at a specific locus of the chromosome.The 5' integration sequence can be added to the front of a Biobrick construct and the 3' integration sequence specific for this locus (Part BBa_K143006) to the rear of the Biobrick construct to allow integration of the Biobrick construct into the chromosome of the gram positive bacterium B.subtilis.

The EpsE (aka YveO) locus has to our knowledge never been used for integration into B.subtilis before, but is useful in that it knocks out the potential molecular clutch EpsE gene [1]. In particular, both the 5' and 3' integration sequences for the EpsE locus conatin in-frame stop codons to prevent translation of the gene (if nothing is integrated into the locus, integration also prevents correct EpsE expression). The 5' and 3' integration sequences for the EpsE locus were used to integrate over the EpsE gene and prevent its expression in the Imperial 2008 iGEM project B.sutbilis host.

Source: The 5’ integration sequence was taken from the B.subtilis chromosome and is homologous to the chromosme from a few hundred bp upstream of the gene's start codon until 300 bp into the gene. It was produced by PCR cloning with Pfu

Design: The EpsE integration sequences were designed from the EpsE (aka YveO) gene's Genbank entry[2] and identification of the sequence directly upstream of the gene on the chromosome (found using NCBI's sequence viewer[3]). The upstream and EpsE gene sequence was analysed for restriction sites and primers (with biobrick prefix and suffix sequences) for two approximately equally sized integration sequences were desgined. The integration sequences were then produced by PCR cloning with Pfu

EAK16-II

Name: EAK16-II

Code: BBa_K413040

Sequence:

Description: EAK16-II is a sixteen amino acid long peptide that self-assembles to form β-sheet structures in aqueous medium. The alternating positive and negative charges (--++--++) are responsible for creating an electrostatic attraction between adjacent peptides. Self-assembly is triggered when the EAK16-II peptides are exposed to physiological media or salt solution.

When examined under SEM, a well-ordered nanofibre structure is formed by the association of the EAK16-II peptides and these nanofibres can futher aggregate to form a membranous 3D scaffold.

Source: EAK16-II was identified as a region in zuotin, a Z-DNA binding protein from the yeast genome.

Design: BioBrick standard was applied to EAK16-II.

Human Elastin Polypeptide

Name: Construct EP20-24-24 for Human Elastin Polypeptide (EP)

Code: BBa_K413041

Sequence:

Description: Elastin is a polymeric extracellular matrix protein found in tissues that require the ability to extend and recoil. Examples of elastin-containing tissues include arteries, lungs, ligaments and skin.

Construct EP20-24-24 for human elastin polypeptide consists of distinct exons, which code for alternating hydrophobic regions and crosslinking domains, from the human elastin polypeptide gene.

Under appropriate conditions of temperature and ionic strength, elastin polypeptide undergoes a self-aggregation process known as coacervation. Coacervation is usually induced by an increase in temperature and causes the protein to separate from the solution as a second phase.Unlike most proteins, which undergo denaturation when the temperature of the solution increases, elastin polypeptides become more ordered through coacervation.

Source: All exons in Construct EP20-24-24 are derived from the human elastin polypeptide gene. Construct EP20-24-24 was used to study the effect of various combinations of exons on coacervation of elastin polypeptide.

Design: BioBrick standard was applied to Construct EP20-24-24 for Human Elastin Polypeptide (EP).
