New Parts

This year, we submitted three new parts for the silver medal. You can click on the part number to see the details.

Part Number Name Type Part Description
BBa_K2912017 R-body_ Caedibacter Composite Refractile inclusion bodies
BBa_K2912011 M. micrantha_leaves_ Unigene0029128 Basic It can be transcribed into RNAi molecules that can silence the gene encoding chlorophyll A-B binding family protein AB80
BBa_K2912016 G-quadruplexes used to detect miRNA Basic a G-quadruplex DNA-based, label-free and ultrasensitive strategy to detect the siRNA
Basic Parts

SZU-China iGEM 2019 team utilizes 14 kinds of new basic parts. Here is their individual function:

1.BBa_K2912000-BBa_K2912003 can encode the protein to assemble the R-body, the self-cracking mechanism.

2.BBa_K2912005-BBa_K2912013 are the different ssDNA sequence to transcribe siRNAs that can silence the gene encoding chlorophyll A-B binding protein of M. micrantha.

3.BBa_K2912014 is Trp attenuator that can act as a suicide switch controlled by the concentration of Tryptophan.

Composite Parts
Self-cracking Mechanism

We combined BBa_K2912000-BBa_K2912003 to form a composite part, which encodes the R-body to be used as the self-cracking mechanism. You can click on the part number to see the details.

BBa_K2912017 R-body_ Caedibacter Composite Refractile inclusion bodies
Characterization of
Existing Part

SZU-China team has added quantitative experimental characterization data to an existing Part from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts and documented the experimental characterization on the Part's Main Page on the Registry.

This year, we found that using OD600 to test whether E. coli were killed by Toxin Tse2 was inaccurate and unreliable. Meanwhile, we found a new approach for our project, a G-quadruplex DNA-based, label-free, and ultrasensitive strategy for microRNA detection (click Measurement to see more). To test our new method, we applied the new approach to characterize the existing part. We tested the content of siRNA to reflect the function of Toxin Tse2.

Part Number Name Type Part Description
BBa_K314200 Toxin Tse2 Basic A toxic protein originating from Pseudomonas aeruginosa that has been shown to arrest growth in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells when expressed intracellularly
Improved Part

This year, our team has improved the existing part by adding the tryptophan attenuator. The improved part (in blue) and the original existing part (in green) are presented below. You can click on the part number to see the details.
