Biobricks

Month-icon.pngBiobricks

We contribute to the registry with 11 new biobricks, 5 of them are favorite biobricks from the team and in this section we document them:

Main biobricks: modules and Projects

Modules

Module and Status Biobrick Name Type Image Description
Mod 1 Sent [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K266006 BBa_K266006] Las AHL
Las AHL
BBa_K091146 promoter (PAI+LasR inducible & AI+LuxR repressible) controls the policistronic expresion of LasI enzyme and GFP, double terminator.
Mod 2 Sent [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K266004 BBa_K266004] Lac inverter
Lac Inverter
Constitutive promoter J23100 with Lac system inverter controlling the expression of LasR.
Mod 3 Sent [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K266001 BBa_K266001] Tet inverter
AI Tet.jpg
J23100 constitutive promoter directs the expression of tetracycline repressor (TetR). TetR binds to pTet regulatory region resulting in a negative control of the production of LuxR. The whole system acts as an Inverter of Tet system controlling LuxR expression. TetR repression is inhibited by the addition of tetracycline or its analog, aTc.
Mod 4 Sent [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K266000 BBa_K266000] Lux AHL
Lux AHL
This biobrick has a promoter inducible by PAI+LasR (BBa_R0079) I.e. positive regulation and produces LuxI enzyme (BBa_F1610). This enzyme produces 3OC6HSL (AI).


Projects

These two biobricks are the main Activator-Inhibitor system, as showned below they are in two different plasmids, and the idea is transform Top10 cells with them in petri dishes with IPTG and ATC.

Status Biobrick Name Image Description
Sent [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K266007 BBa_K266007]
substrates
Complex Quorum sensing circuit that receives the signal of PAI+LasR and AI+LuxR to control the production of LuxI and LasI enzymes.
Pending [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K266010 BBa_K2660010]
substrates
Tet constitutive inverter controlling LasR expression and Lac constitutive inverter controlling LuxR expression.

Auxiliary biobricks

This biobricks are though like construction intermediates necessary to build the main and project biobricks.
