Example
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[2] and is still commonly used in vectors such as pDR111[3], pDL[4] 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[5]. 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[3, 6, 7]
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

Parts
**K316012 - 3' K316000-sRBS-TEV**
Name: 3' coding, Enhanced LacI inducible promoter, synthetic RBS, TEV
Code: BBa_K316000
Sequence:
Short: 3' coding TEV protease under control of enhanced Lac operon
Long:
TEV protease S219P autocatalysis resistant variant
Introduction :
This is the nuclear inclusion protease, endogenous to Tobacco Etch Virus and is used in the late lifecycle to cleave polyprotein precursors. The recognition sequence is ENLYFQG/S [1]] between QG or QSDue to it’s stringent sequence specificity, TEV is commonly used to cleave genetically engineered proteins.
Uses:
TEV proteinase is used to cleave fusion proteins. It is useful due to its high degree of specificity [[2]] and potential to be used in vivo or in vitro applications.
Auto-inactivation
Wild type TEV protease also cleaves itself at Met 218 and Ser 219 [[3]] . This leads to auto-inactivation of the TEV protease and progressive loss of activity of the protein. The rate of inactivation is proportional to the concentration of protease [[4]]
More stable Mutants have been produced by single amino acid substitutions S219V (AGC(serine) to GTG(valine) and S219P (AGC(serine) to CCG(proline)

Long: This part is identical to the sequence submitted by Imperial 2008 team, this part was produced from BBa_K143053 by PCR. PVeg is a constitutive promoter controlled by Sigma factor A. This promoter has two binding sites which leads to high expression of downstream genes. There is some evidence that the sporulation master regulator the spoOA can interact with pVeg although the mechanism is not known.

**K316003 - XylE-B0014**
Name: XylE, Double Terminator
Code: BBa_S04510
Sequence:
Short: XylE - catechol 2,3-dioxygenase from P.putida with terminator
Long: Catechol or catechol 2,3-dioxygenase + O(2) is converted by a ring cleavage into 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde which is the toxic and bright yellow-coloured substrate. This is a key enzyme in many (soil) bacterial species used for the degradation of aromatic compounds. The catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (pdb id: 1MPY[6]) used here itself originating from Pseudomonas putida is a homotetramer of C230 monomers. The tetramerization interactions position a ferrous ion critical for enzymatic activity. It has been deduced that intersubunit interaction is essential to produce a functioning enzyme after performing N and C terminal modifications on the monomer. Coming together the subunits generate an active site. The reaction itself takes place within seconds after the addition by Pasteur pipette or spraying of catechol at a 100mM stock solution diluted with DDH20 (used by our lab.) The toxic byproduct is thought to interfere with cell wall integrity and cellular machinery such that exposed cells gradually die.
Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase
Source: XylE was obtained from the registry <bbpart>BBa_K118021</bbpart>, the terminator is <bbpart>BBa_B0014</bbpart>. XylE is naturally found in Pseudomonas putida.
Design: The parts were put together using standard assembly [7]

Code: BBa_K316008
Sequence:
Short: Cleavable GFP-XylE fusion with Pveg promoter and terminator
Long: This construct is designed so that the XylE activity is substantially reduced untill such a time when a TEV protease is added to the system and transcribed. TEV protease cleavable linker is positioned between the two proteins. Once the linker is cleaved, XylE is free to tetramerise and assume full activity. GFP is His tagged at the 5' end to facilitate purificaiton for in-vitro assays. Terminator <bbpart>BBa_B0014</bbpart> has been added to comply with Biobrick standards.

**K316009 -TEV-sRBS-K316000 -K143053-5'hisGFP-linker-XylE-B0014**
Name: minus strand encoded - LacI inducible TEV and plus strand 5'his tagged-GFP-linker-XylE construct under constitutive Pveg promoter and spoVG RBS <bbpart>BBa_K143053</bbpart>
Code: BBa_K316009
Sequence:
Short: LacI inducible Fast Response Module, using cleavable XylE
Long:
5' his tagged GFP-TEV linker-XylE construct is pre-made in the cell under constitutive promoter. Both Pveg promoter and spoVG RBS are best suited for maximal expression in B.subtilis. While GFP is attached to the XylE monomer via the TEV cleavable linker, the catalytic activity is low. Transcription of TEV protease allows cleavage of the linker between GFP and XylE, thus XylE is free to tetramerise into a fully functional enzyme. XylE is then able to act as described in <bbpart>BBa_k316004</bbpart>
Please see 'Part Design' section for design considerations and parts used.

K316010 -** 3' encoded K316000 - XylE**
Name: LacI inducible XylE
Code: BBa_K316010
Sequence:
Short: 3' strand coding XylE under LacI activation
Long: This part contains XylE under synthetic hyperspank promoter <bbpart>BBa_K143000</bbpart> LacI and IPTG are required for repression and activation of expression. As transformation of B subtilis often requires genomic integration, read-through from upstream genomic regions can become an issue. For the purposes of characterisation, the part was made on the minus strand to reduce background transcription. Read-through may provide an additional benefit as low quantities of anti-sence RNA may reduce basal expression sometimes seen in LacI systems. (although there is some evidence background is usually due to readthrough if have ref)

**K316000 - Pehs**
Name: Enhanced hyperspank promoter
Code: BBa_K316000
Sequence:
Short: 3' coding Enhanced LacI-hyperspank promoter
Long:
This part is a modified version of hyper-spank promoter for B.subtilis <bbpart>BBa_K143015</bbpart>. Hyper-spank promoter is repressed by transcriptional repressor LacI <bbpart>BBa_K143033</bbpart> and can be induced by addition of Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Constitutive expression of LacI is required for repression.
Promoter Design
The position and sequence of LacI binding was designed using existing knowledge. The stochastic nature of transcriptional repressors usually leads to background transcription. In order to minimise background the binding sites and the distance between them have been optimised.
Stronger binding
The natural LacI operator has 3 binding sites, all of which have variations in the binding sequences. Perfectly symmetric binding sequence was shown to have10-fold higher binding compared to wild type sequences. The aattgtgagc gctcacaatt sequence has been shown to be optimal for LacI binding Muller 1996 Oehler 1994.
Optimal distance
Due to the tetrameric nature of LacI it can simulataneously bind to multiple regions in the genome. Binding at multple sites can produce much stronger repression (muller 1996) by increasing local LacI concentrations. Due to the helical nature of DNA the distance between the operator sites plays an important role in the strength of repression. Maximal repression at 70.5bp, second strongest at 92.5bp and third at 115.5bp

Design: Designed for minimal basal transcription by altering binding site sequence and distance.

**K316013 - PmeI cutting site**
Name: PmeI recognition sequence
Code: BBa_K316014

Short: 8bp recognition sequence for PmeI restriction endonuclease
Long:
Information about PmeI restriction endonuclease is available at [9]. The recognition site is a 8bp sequence GTTTAAAC. Pme produces a blunt cut after GTTT.
Source: This is a planning part. The sequence was combined with <bbpart>BBa_K143000</bbpart> to produce <bbpart>BBa_K143014</bbpart> in construction of B. subtilis genome integration vectors
Design: This is a planning part. The sequence was produced from single stranded primer oligos.

**K316014 - K316000-K316013**
Name: Dif Pme
Code: BBa_K316014
Sequence:
Short: Dif sequence followed by PmeI recognition site
Long:
This composite part of <bbpart>BBa_K143000</bbpart> and <bbpart>BBa_K143013</bbpart>. The dif site can be used in conjunction with another dif site in another part of the vector to remove a sequence between the two dif sites. PmeI site can be used for blunt end cloning of a DNA sequence behind the dif site.
Source: oligonucleotide synthesis
Design: This part was designed to be cloned using standard biobrick methods. Two single stranded, synthetic oligos were annealed to produce double stranded DNA sequence with single stranded overhangs identical to the product of digestion by XbaI and SpeI. Thus compatible with biobrick cloning methods.

Code: BBa_K316016
Sequence:
Short: Activates transcription of target genes when phosphorylated.
Long: ComE is the response regulator of a two-component signal transduction signaling pathway in a Streptococcus pneumoniae quorum sensing system. It is phosphorylate and activated by ligand-bound ComD. It will then induce transcription of any gene which has a ComE binding site in its promoter.

**K316020 -pyrD complete vector-K143008-K316002-K143053-K143065-K316014-K143009**
Name: B. subtilis genome integration vector into pyrD locus
Code: BBa_K316020
Sequence:
Short: B. subtilis genome integration vector into pyrD locus
Long:
PyrD This vector has been designed using the Pyrd 5' <bbpart>BBa_K143001</bbpart> and 3' <bbpart>BBa_K143002</bbpart> integration sequences for integration into B. subtilis genome. Insertion into the pyrD locus provides a negative selection marker as the bacterium will no longer be able to synthesise uracil. Thus medium supplement of 40ug/ml is required for growth. This phenotype makes the transformed bacterium considerably less likely to survive in natural environments.
Spectinomycin Resistance This vector also contains a positive selection marker, flanked by two dif sites. Aad9 <bbpart>BBa_K143065</bbpart> provides resistance to spectinomycin antibiotic. Dif <bbpart>BBa_K316002</bbpart> sites allow excision of the antibiotic marker after integration, thus allowing the same marker to be used again or as a precaution against horizontal gene transfer.
Blunt end cloning site PmeI restriction site <bbpart>BBa_K316013</bbpart> is designed as a cloning site. Due to the 8bp recognition sequence it is a rare site that can be used to cut the vector only once.

Code: BBa_K316022
Sequence:
Short:
B.subtilis transformation vector, targets Amylase locus
Long:
This vector has been designed using the amyE 5' and 3' integration sequences for integration into B.subtilis genome
AmyE locus This vector has been designed using the amyE 5' <bbpart>BBa_K143008</bbpart> and 3 <bbpart>BBa_K143009</bbpart>' integration sequences for integration into B. subtilis genome. Insertion into the amyE locus provides a selection marker as the bacterium will no longer be able to breakdown starch. An iodine assay can be used to confirm integration. This phenotype makes the transformed bacterium considerably less likely to survive in natural environments.
Chloramphenicol Resistance This vector also contains a positive selection marker, flanked by two dif sites. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase <bbpart>BBa_J31005</bbpart> provides resistance to chloramphenicol antibiotic. Dif <bbpart>BBa_K316002</bbpart> sites allow excision of the antibiotic marker after integration, thus allowing the same marker to be used again or as a precaution against horizontal gene transfer.

**K316023 - K143070 - K143064**
Name: 5'amye-Pveg-spoVG-CAT-B0015
Code: BBa_K316023
Sequence:
Short:
Chloraphenicol resistance gene with 5' amyE sequence
Long:
Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) <bbpart>BBa_K143031</bbpart> confers resistance to chloramphenicol, a common lab selection antibiotic. The 5' amyE <bbpart>BBa_K143001</bbpart> integration sequence allows integration into B. subtilis genome, which disrupts ability to breakdown starch. In order for integration to occur, 3' amyE integration sequence <bbpart>BBa_K143002</bbpart> is also required.
This part can be used as the 5' start of an amyE integration vector, the genes of interest can then be attached to the 3' end, followed by the 3' amye integratio sequwnce <bbpart>BBa_K143002</bbpart>.
Please see ‘Part Design’ section for design considerations and parts used.

**K316030 - LytC**
Name:
Code: BBa_K316030
Sequence:
Short: LytC cell wall anchoring protein for B. subtilis
Long: The cell wall binding domin of lytC, a N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase of B. subtilis, was isolated to be used as a cell wall anchor. As demonstrated by Kobayashi et al. 2000 this domin can be used to target catalytic domians of other proteins as well as peptides to the cell wall of B. subtilis whilst leaving their functionality intact.

**K316031 - LytC with linker1**
Name: LytC-linker1-TEV cleavable site-ComC
Code: BBa_K316031
Sequence:
Short: B. subtilis Cell wall biniding domain with cleavable linker
Long: We designed a protein that carries our signal peptide ComC out of the cell where a protease has access to it. The protease can then proceed to cleave ComC off the protein, allowing quorum sensing via the the ComCDE system to take place. One big problem we have to overcome is the cell wall that will obstruct the protease’s access to the protein carrying the signal peptide. The Detection module consists of a cell wall anchor, a signal peptide called ComC, and a linker that connects the two and is specifically designed to be cleaved by the protease we want to detect
