Protein Coding Sequences
Introduction. "Protein-coding" parts [also called "coding sequences" (cds) or "open reading frames" (ORFs)] contain the sequence information needed to create functional protein (polypeptide) chains. Most of the parts classified in this category are protein-coding sequences only -- a few of them, however, also contain ribosome-binding (RBS) sites. Useful information about protein coding sequences can be found here.
Because protein-coding sequences comprise the largest and most diverse group of parts, the Registry divides them into several sub-categories as given below. (Click the appropriate title below to access the summary page for that sub-category. Available parts are listed on the sub-category page, together with links to background information.)
Enzymes
Enymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
Repressors and Activators
These are proteins that bind to control sequences in DNA and either down- or up-regulate the expression of nearby genes. (Some of them do both depending on conditions.) In eukaryotes the term "transcription factor" is often used for such proteins.
Reporter Coding Sequences
These are the basic parts for reporter devices based on fluorescent proteins and other light-generating proteins. (See also the reporter devices that use them.)
Uncategorized Coding Sequences
Some protein coding sequences do not fall into the three categories above -- or have not yet been categorized. They are listed in this section.
