This year, despite our relatively ambitious project, our team achieved goals in several different areas.
In addition to successfully modelling, designing, characterising and entering our sporulation tuning kinA BioBrick (BBa_K174011) in the parts registry, we improved an existing BioBrick part (BBa_K174004) rendering it tightly regulated.
Futhermore, we helped the UQ-Australia iGEM2009 team by modelling their system.
We also modelled all the components our project's system and we designed and entrered 18 other BioBrick parts and devices ranking from a degradation controller system to a tightly regulated metal sensing promoter. We believe that several of the BioBrick parts we designed, in addition to our 3 favourite parts, are novel and can be used not only in the context of our project but in a variety of different systems.
Our degradation controller device is an arabinose inducible protein degradation system which can be used universally to tightly regulate the levels of protein in a particular system.
Also, our sensitive cadmium promoter BioBrick is novel in the fact that there is no known cadmium specific promoter. Our combinatorial approach to design is unique and novel and provide with a tightly regulated promoter which any system working with cadmium can use.
