The difference is in multiple cloning sites.

-
The main reasons for changing multiple cloning sites are:
+
-
#Defined position of promoter and terminator from coding sequence coded with part or parts, which ensures efficient transcription and translation of protein; and
+
-
#Additional sequences linked to parts, which could be exploited when linker is needed between combined parts.

-
Although most promoters and RBS and tags and terminators are currently specified as separate parts in the Registry, we will use a new design in which these elements are included within the vector, as we plan to prepare and isolate many proteins and this design will also decrease the number of required cloning steps and will be suesull for others desiring to prepare recombinant proteins in E.coli. We expect the new design will reduce the likelihood of unexpected functional composition problems between promoter / terminator and coding sequence.

BioBRICKS


The goal of our project was to investigate and demonstrate the feasibility of polypeptide assembly based on modular nanoBricks. Potentials of this approach are vast (see Discussion and Vision) and for the development of applications it is essential to have available a large collection of “nuts and bolts” to assemble polypeptide nanostructures. We produced all together more than 100 BioBricks, which comprise a significant number of different natural as well as designed coiled-coil forming segments as well as different polypeptide oligomerization domains. In addition we prepared several “functional polypeptides”, which provide additional useful features to the material, such as different biological activities (antimicrobial peptide, growth factors, cell attachment motifs…), optical properties, enzymatic activity...

On the other hand we extended the BioBrick standard by introducing sites that allow extension of peptide linker sequences. Length of the linkers between polypeptide domains is crucial to determine the accessible geometry of the assembly, and our extended standard provides a tool to extend the length of a linker by any required length in increments of two residues. This task, particularly concerning small extensions would otherwise require the preparation of a new domain construct.
