birA encodes an biotin-ligase in C. glutamicum. It transfers a biotin to the biotin-carboxylase domain (also known as biotin-carboxyl-carrier protein BCCP) of several biotin-dependent enzymes like Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase and Propionyl-CoA Carboxylase (Samols et al., 1988). Hence this enzyme is involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. For this part, <i>accBC</i> was codonoptimized for <i>V. natriegens</i> and then synthetisized and integrated into the vector BBa_K2560002 via BsmBI. If <i>birA</i> shall be used with an 5' tag use this part, if there is no need for tagging, use Bba_K2560253.

===Marburg Toolbox===
 +
<html>
 +
<p align="justify">We proudly present the Marburg Collection, a novel golden-gate-based toolbox containing various parts that are compatible with the PhytoBrick system and MoClo. Compared to other bacterial toolboxes, the Marburg Collection shines with superior flexibility. We overcame the rigid paradigm of plasmid construction - thinking in fixed backbone and insert categories - by achieving complete <i> de novo </i> assembly of plasmids.
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
36 connectors facilitate flexible cloning of multigene constructs and even allow for the inversion of individual transcription units. Additionally, our connectors function as insulators to avoid undesired crosstalk.
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
The Marburg Collection contains 123 parts in total, including:
 +
<br>
 +
inducible promoters, reporters, fluorescence and epitope tags, oris, resistance cassettes and genome engineering tools. To increase the value of the Marburg Collection, we additionally provide detailed experimental characterization for <i> V. natriegens </i> and a supportive software. We aspire availability of our toolbox for future iGEM teams to empower accelerated progression in their ambitious projects.</p>

birA from C. glutamicum, codonoptimized for V. natriegens

birA encodes an biotin-ligase in C. glutamicum. It transfers a biotin to the biotin-carboxylase domain (also known as biotin-carboxyl-carrier protein BCCP) of several biotin-dependent enzymes like Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase and Propionyl-CoA Carboxylase (Samols et al., 1988). Hence this enzyme is involved in fatty acid biosynthesis.

For this part, accBC was codonoptimized for V. natriegens and then synthetisized and integrated into the vector BBa_K2560002 via BsmBI. It is part of the Marburg Toolbox, a golden gate based system für modular cloning.

If birA shall be used with an 5' tag use this part, if there is no need for tagging, use BBa_K2560253.

Further down, an overview of the Marburg Toolbox is shown. Sequence and Features

Marburg Toolbox

We proudly present the Marburg Collection, a novel golden-gate-based toolbox containing various parts that are compatible with the PhytoBrick system and MoClo. Compared to other bacterial toolboxes, the Marburg Collection shines with superior flexibility. We overcame the rigid paradigm of plasmid construction - thinking in fixed backbone and insert categories - by achieving complete de novo assembly of plasmids.

36 connectors facilitate flexible cloning of multigene constructs and even allow for the inversion of individual transcription units. Additionally, our connectors function as insulators to avoid undesired crosstalk.

The Marburg Collection contains 123 parts in total, including:
inducible promoters, reporters, fluorescence and epitope tags, oris, resistance cassettes and genome engineering tools. To increase the value of the Marburg Collection, we additionally provide detailed experimental characterization for V. natriegens and a supportive software. We aspire availability of our toolbox for future iGEM teams to empower accelerated progression in their ambitious projects.


Figure 3: Hierarchical cloning is facilitated by subsequent Golden Gate reactions.
Basic building blocks like promoters or terminators are stored in level 0 plasmids. Parts from each category of our collection can be chosen to built level 1 plasmids harboring a single transcription unit. Up to five transcription units can be assembled into a level 2 plasmid.
Figure 4: Additional bases and fusion sites ensure correct spacing and allow tags.
Between some parts, additional base pairs were integrated to ensure correct spacing and to maintain the triplet code. We expanded our toolbox by providing N- and C- terminal tags by creating novel fusions and splitting the CDS and terminator part, respectively.
