Concerns: We want the sRNA gene on a high copy plasmid and the target sequence on low copy plasmid.  This could require up to 7 different plasmids to transform into the cell.  We need to look into the feasibility of this.

Hybrid Promoter

Goals: The goal of this side-project is the create a hybrid or combinatorial promoter that accepts two inputs. This will be used in the creation of an AND logic gate.


Papers of Interest:

Engineered gene circuits Jeff Hasty, David McMillen & J. J. Collins

Construction and Enhancement of a Minimal Genetic AND Logic Gate Daniel J. Sayut, Yan Niu, and Lianhong Sun

Combinatorial Synthesis of Genetic Networks Cabrevelin C. Guet, Michael B. Elowitz, Weihong Hsing, Stanislas Leibler

Programming gene expression with combinatorial promoters Robert Sidney Cox, III, Michael G Surette, and Michael B Elowitz


Biobricks of Interest:

BBa_K091101 pTet_Lac hybrid promoter

BBa_R0010 lacl regulated promoter

BBa_R0040 TetR repressible promoter

BBa_K137125 LacI-repressed promoter B4

Today we came up with a schematic of a possible decoder:

We looked more closely at the biobricks: BBa_I14032, BBa_R0040, BBa_K137125, BBa_K091101.

BBa_R0040 and BBa_K091101 were available to us in the registry distribution so we transformed these into cells to test them.
