Tmini is a very short terminator in yeast. It's only 68bp in length but has a good performance.

"Terminators are essential components in expression cassettes and can influence net protein output by controlling mRNA half-life. Mechanistically, eukaryotic terminators signal and recruit the machinery responsible for stopping transcription, cleaving the nascent mRNA, and polyadenylating the mRNA. In addition, a terminator is the genetically encoded element that defines the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) sequence and structure and thus contributes to mRNA stability and corresponding mRNA half-life. However most of native terminators in yeast are too long, usually have hundreds of base pairs. With the development of synthetic biology, synthetic terminators that possess little homology to the native genome are becoming important. What’s more, a terminator that has a much shorter sequence with the same efft of sequence is also important. [1] For the construction of terminators in yeast, Guoect as tha et al. has determined the elements and demonstrated functional termination and mature mRNA formation. 3’-end formation of yeast mRNAs involves signals having the following three degenerate elements: (i) the efﬁciency element, which functions by enhancing the efﬁciency of positioning elements; (ii) the positioning element, which positions the poly(A) site; and (iii) the actual site of polyadenylation.[2] In our project, we use Tmini with Pmini (BBa K2314831) to construct a “Mini system”. We constructed four circuits is follow. We wanted to compare the “Mini system” with a very common system “CYC1 system” which contains Pcyc1 and Tcyc1.

In short，Tmini is a very short terminator in yeast. It’s only 68bp in length but has a good performance.
