Parts overview
Through this project we have created a library of Aspergillus promoters and other fungal parts, which will make it easier for future iGEM-teams to work with filamentous fungi. These, along with other parts we have created or characterized, are described below.
Type: Regulatory
Size: 683 bp
This is a strong promoter for Aspergillus niger that has high activity in the exponential phase. This is a synthetic exponential phase promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the glaA promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. The consensus promoter was expected to have really high expression. This version has “noise” added to the sequence to support a hypothesis that it was possible to turn down expression of the promoter.

Type: Regulatory
Size: 842 bp
This is a medium strength constitutive promoter for Aspergillus niger. This is a synthetic constitutive promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the sonB promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. [1] This version is a consensus sequence of the sonB promoters in Aspergillus and is expected to have a medium strength expression.

This is a synthetic constitutive promoter, created as part of the LEAP (Library of Engineered Aspergillus Promoters) project. It is based on the gfaA promoter from different Aspergillus spp., and the gene was chosen based on RNA-seq data from Aspergillus niger. This version has introduced stokastic noise compared to the consensus sequence of the promoters in Aspergillus and is therefore expected to have a lower expression.

Type: Composite
Size: 5546 bp
This part is designed to be inserted into pSB1C3 by Gibson cloning to make an integration plasmid for Aspergillus niger. The part is meant to be linearised by PCR prior to protoplast-mediated transformation, where the IS2 sites will lead to genomic integration of the insert (in this case just PyrG part BBa_K3046022) into the albA conidial pigment gene. Correct gene integration will, therefore, yield white/yellow conidia instead of the black conidia seen for the wildtype A. niger.
