Design Notes

This composite part is consisted PhaR and its native promoter + Phasin and its native promoter. This part was further developed based on the BBa K2739000 (ProR-PhaR). This designed to investigate its relation in PHA production through PHA operon with phasin.

Sequence of Phasin was obtained from previous item team, BBa_K390501(LacP-RBS-PhaP-HlyA-Terminator). Our team found that the end of Phasin's sequence contain a stop codon. The stop codon was then removed, however, consider the work of current composite part, the phasin with stop codon from the previous part was still used to current composite part.


Sequence of Phasin's native promoter was isolated from Ralstonia eutropha and not found on iGEM registry. Therefore, this promoter was genereated by IDT.

Sequence of PhaR and its native promoter could be found in iGEM registry, as two separate basic parts (BBa_K108015 and BBa_K108014) and being not available. The source of these sequences were recorded as 1. Regulation of phasin expression and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granule formation in Ralstonia eutropha H16. Microbiology. 2002, 148:2413–2426. and 2. NCBI (with no further information), having no mentioned if the sequence was codon optimised.

We access the online NCBI data and found out the current available phaR sequence is being 4 bp different to BBa_K108015; and the functional promoter is being 134bp shorter. Therefore we have used the new phaR and promoter sequence as our new template. Due to the excessive GC in the phaR sequence, we have it codon optimised to E.coli and generated the part through the IDT company service.
