••••• iGEM Dundee 2011

This part was seen work in practice. It is a published consitutive promoter, and we have shown it results in eventual protein production for numerous targets. See BBa_K562009 for the most detailed characterisation.

• iGEM Dundee 2012

Although this part was seen work in practice, the Dundee 2012 team found that the rookie Dundee 2011 team had make some mistakes in their cloning. BBa_K562000 was found not to have been cloned to Biobrick [10] standard as the correct prefix and suffix sequences were not used. BBa_K562000 is now replaced by BBa_K895000.

Results

A gene encoding an engineered mCherry protein was placed downstream of the tat promoter from BBa_K562000 and E. coli was transformed. mCherry fluorescence was observed by confocal microscopy as shown in Figure 1.
