The part contains the whole coding region from the <i>birA</i> gene of <i>C. glutamicum</i> (NCgl0679) without the startcodon. This region is flanked by overhangs which are Phytobrick- and MoClo-compatible and by two BsaI recognition sites (Weber et al., 2011). It was built with the Marburg Toolbox, a golden gate based toolbox for modular cloning. According to the Marburg Toolbox, the part is designed as a 4-part (CDS).

If <i>birA</i> shall be used with an 5' tag use [https://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K2560256 BBa_K2560256], if there is no need for tagging, use this part. <br>

===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>

Design Notes

The part contains the whole coding region from the birA gene of C. glutamicum (NCgl0679) without the startcodon. This region is flanked by overhangs which are Phytobrick- and MoClo-compatible and by two BsaI recognition sites (Weber et al., 2011). It was built with the Marburg Toolbox, a golden gate based toolbox for modular cloning. According to the Marburg Toolbox, the part is designed as a 4-part (CDS).


If birA shall be used with an 5' tag use BBa_K2560256, if there is no need for tagging, use this part.

GGTCTCGAATG-coding_region-GCTTTGAGACC


The sequence was codonoptimized for V. natriegens ATCC 14048.


Source

Source of the part:

Genome: Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032

Accession number of gene: NCgl0679

Accession number of encoded protein: NP_599941.1

birA was codonoptimized for V. natriegens and then synthetisized and integrated into the vector BBa_K2560002via BsmBI

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.
