RNAII acts as a pre-primer and begins the synthesis of plasmid DNA leader strand. The transcript folds into a secondary structure which stabilises the interaction between the nascent RNA and the origin's DNA. This hybrid is attacked by RNase H, which cleaves the RNA strand, exposing a 3' hydroxyl group. This allows the extension of the leading strand by DNA Polymerase I. Lagging strand synthesis is later initiated by a primase encoded by the host cell.

<b>ColE1-type plasmid replication begins with synthesis of plasmid encoded RNA II</b> (also called primer transcript) by RNA polymerase which initiates transcription at a site 555bp upstream of origin of replication. The RNA transcript forms a RNA - DNA hybrid with template DNA near the origin of replication.

For RNA I to inhibit primer formation, it must bind before the nascent RNA II transcript extends to the replication origin. Consequently, the concentration of RNA I and the rate of binding of RNA I to RNA II is critical for regulation of primer formation and thus for plasmid replication.

In order to flexibly control the synthesis of RNA I (Why RNA I ? <link to RNA I biobrick>), the RNA I gene first needed to be inactivated in ColE1 origin of replication. That, however, was not a trivial task, as ColE1 ORI is an antisense system, which means that by changing RNA I promoter sequence, one also changes the RNA II secondary structure, which is crucial for plasmid replication initiation (Find out more about how team Vilnius-Lithuania solved this problem by pressing this link! <LINK REQUIRED>). This is the main reason why, in SynORI framework, the wildtype ColE1 ORI is split into two different parts - <b> RNR I and RNA II </b>.

This is a full composite part of the constantly expressed riboregulatory sequence Toehold 1 part:BBa_K2259014 coupled with the alpha subunit of the split antibiotic resistance gene Part:BBa_K2259018. It has an Anderson promoter part:BBa_J23101 and a double terminator at the end. Toehold 1 switch inhibits the translation of the downstream split antibiotic alpha-subunit gene until the activator RNA - trigger 1 - is introduced into the system.

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

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.
