Welcome to your project page!

For each part listed, you should:

  • Design oligos to make your part
  • Write up proper construction files and put it on the Construction Files page
  • Put your oligos on the Oligo Log page
  • Put your parts into Clotho

You should design your construction strategy to put your part into plasmid vectorName-Bca1144 (Where vectorName is indicated for each part) using EcoRI and BamHI or just BamHI or BglII for EIPCR. The maps for all plasmids involved in our project can be downloaded here.

Several references have been provided to give you some background on the biology of your part.

Also, use the link above left to upload a picture of yourself, your name, and anything else you'd like.

Finally, you should create a notebook on the main page of the wiki

 Vector:  pBjk2741
 Short description: oriO99
 Genbank reference: D30060.1 
 Family:  Origin of Replication

This part encodes a DNA cis element

DNA cis elements are sequences that are bound by DNA binding domains, replication proteins, or DNA modification enzymes. The proteins sometimes just stick to them, and other times they perform some sort of DNA chemistry on them.

This part is associated with colE2 orthogonal replicon devices

The colE2 family of replicons encode two elements to enable replication of a circular DNA in E. coli: one is a protein called Rep and the other is a cis element, or more specifically the origin of replication, or just ori. Placing the ori in cis and a complete gene for producing Rep either in cis or in trans should allow replication of the DNA containing ori.

The purpose for these devices is to make additional conditional replicons that can be used in the same cell in E. coli. Ultimately, these will drive replication of the delivered DNAs in our systems allowing them to be cranked up to really high-copy in the cell. Our "Entry Vector" for this project, pBjk274, incidentally, replicates with a colE2-derived replicon. So, take special note of the instructions below as to which plasmid you should use for constructing your basic part.

 Genbank reference: D30060 (5…441) 
 Family:  Expressed RNA

This part encodes a Promoter.RNA composite part

Sometimes we make basic parts contain more than just a primitive element if there is reason to believe that some natural non-biobrick composition might be important for its activity. This is one of those instances. The part encodes a native promoter and a non-coding RNA element, but no terminator.

Parts containing transcriptionally-competent constructs are often toxic to E. coli, so you may have some difficulty making this part. Make careful note in your notebook about the size distribution of colonies you get on your plates and the ratio of red to white colonies.

sbb41: Constitutive RFP

 Source:  pBjh1601CK-Bjh1904
 Vector:  pBjk2741
 Short description: {Ptet}.{rbs_RFP!}    
 Family:  Expressed CDS

This part is used to constitutively (meaning all the time) express red fluorescent protein in E. coli.

This part exists but requires an EcoRI/BamHI transfer

This part has already been made, but it's with the wrong vector for our assembly program. We need to move the part into a different plasmid. We'll do this with an EcoRI/BamHI transfer. The protocol describing this is here.
