Coding

Part:BBa_K2587000:Design

Designed by: Ylenia Longo   Group: iGEM18_Duesseldorf   (2018-09-15)

Experimental design

Part of our project was to design a synthetic promoter, able to induce expression of a reporter gene, which is activated upon synthesis of the Quorum sensing molecule acyl homoserine lactone synthase, by LuxI. Therefore we codon optimized this sequence for the organism S.cerervisiae and implemented this in our construct. With this we did not only apply this sequence into our project, but also improved a previous part by codon optimizing a gene, usually not used for S.cerevisiae.

Design Notes

This part is codon optimized for S.cerevisiae and TypeII S restriction sites (on both sides) are added to the sequence for special use in the YTK toolbox but also for general Golden Gate cloning, a trending becoming cloning method. This construct was built using the MoClo YTK Toolbox (1). As an example, our final construct containing the LuxI gene is shown here:

Source

The source of this part is the organism Alivibrio fischeri which was retrieved from Genbank (and is codon optimized for S. cerevisiae.)
