Basic Parts
This year, our team submitted four new basic parts. The functions of them are shown below.
Part Number | Name | Type | Part Description |
---|---|---|---|
BBa_K3205001 | Pare promoter region | Basic | A promoter induced by aromatic compounds such as benzyl alcohol. |
BBa_K3205002 | AreR_Acinetobacter sp. Strain ADP1 | Basic | Encoding the regulatory protein of Pare. |
BBa_K3205003 | luxPR_3A | Basic | Mutate the C on the third site to A comparing to the original luxPR promoter. |
BBa_K3205004 | luxPR_3G | Basic | Mutate the C on the third site to G comparing to the original luxPR promoter. |
Composite Parts
We combined the two basic parts above with GFP and other necessary parts as a new composite part. You can check the link below to find more details.
Part Number | Name | Type | Part Description |
---|---|---|---|
BBa_K3205000 | A device for detecting benzyl alcohol by producing GFP. | Composite | A composite part that can report benzyl alcohol by producing GFP. |
Characterization Parts
This year, we characterized the binding intensity of LuxR and HSL by setting a set of concentrations of HSL and expressing LuxR by constitutive promoters of different intensity.
Part Number | Name | Type | Part Description |
---|---|---|---|
BBa_C0062 | luxR repressor/activator, (no LVA?) | Basic | Encoding the LuxR protein. |
Improvement Parts
This year, we improved luxPR promoter to obtain a mutation with low leakage but without losing its highest intensity.
Part Number | Name | Type | Part Description |
---|---|---|---|
BBa_R0062 BBa_K3205005 |
Promoter (luxR & HSL regulated -- lux pR) luxPR_4G12T |
Improvement | Improvement part from point mutation of the luxPR promoter, which needs a higher homoserine lactone (HSL) concentration to be activated and decreases the promoter’s leakage. |
