Toehold 1 of SynORI selection system

This is a full composite part of the riboregulatory sequence Toeholed 1 part:BBa_K2259014 coupled with the alpha subunit of the split antibiotic resistance gene Part:BBa_K2259018. It has a constant expression by part:BBa_J23101 promoter and a double terminator at the end.

This part is used together with part:BBa_K2259038 to build a 3 or 4 plasmid SynORI selection gene circuit. Additionally, it can be used with signal activated trigger part:BBa_K2259042 to build a 5 plasmid SynORI selection system

Toehold 1 part is activated by the Trigger 1 part:BBa_K2259016

About SynORI

SynORI is a framework for multi-plasmid systems created by Vilnius-Lithuania 2017 which enables quick and easy workflow with multiple plasmids, while also allowing to freely pick and modulate copy number for every unique plasmid group!

Toehold riboregulators in SynORI

Toehold switches together with their corresponding RNA triggers and split antibiotic genes completes the dynamic SynORI selection system. The switches lock the translation of downstream split antibiotic genes and form an AND type gate genetic circuit which functions to stably maintain multiple plasmids in the SynORI collection.

SynORI selection gene circuits for multi-plasmid systems:

• 2 plasmids

Consisting of: : Two split antibiotic genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019)

• 3 plasmids

Consisting of: One Toehold (part:BBa_K2259014 or part:BBa_K2259015), one Trigger RNA (part:BBa_K2259016 or part:BBa_K2259017) and split neomycin antibiotic resistance genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019).

• 4 plasmids

Consisting of: Two Toeholds (part:BBa_K2259014 and part:BBa_K2259015), two Trigger RNAs (part:BBa_K2259016 and part:BBa_K2259017) and split neomycin antibiotic resistance genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019).

• 5 plasmids

Consisting of: Modified phage control system part:BBa_K2259044, two Toeholds (part:BBa_K2259014 and part:BBa_K2259015), two repressed Trigger RNAs (part:BBa_K2259042 and part:BBa_K2259043) and split neomycin antibiotic resistance genes (part:BBa_K2259018 and part:BBa_K2259019).

Two groups of Toeholds

SynORI collection introduces two Toehold sequences termed Toehold 1 and Toehold 2 which only interact with its corresponding Trigger RNA, termed Trigger 1 and Trigger 2 and display no cross interaction.
