Parts

Here you can find a table summarizing all of the parts which were used in our project. We have designed four composite parts - A, B, C and D to test out different aspects of our project and composite part Z combining composite parts A, C and D to form a functioning system which responds to the increase in phosphate levels by initiating production of BMCs. More information about how we have designed and picked our parts can be found on the page project design.

Spacer 03

cI repressor

BBa_K3831024

Coding

Phage lambda forms the repressor cI, which binds to the O1, O2 and O3 operators, forms multimers and bends DNA, preventing transcription initiation from the pR promoter. We added one of the operator sequences into the Pgracpromoter to create PGrac-OcIwhich should then be turned off in the presence of the cI repressor.

PGrac OcIpromoter

BBa_K3831025

Regulatory

The PGracpromoter was created by combining the groE promoter, gsiBSD sequence and lacO operator to allow for IPTG induction. We took out the lacO sequence and we replaced it with cI operator. This design should allow the strong promoter to be repressed by cI repressor originating from Phage lambda.
