Gate

This gate is a toehold switch system with which a gene of interest can be locked and regulated on a translational level using mRNA as regulator. After transcription, the mRNA of this gate forms a hairpin that hides the ribosome binding site and start codon of the gene of interest, thus translation can not occur. A complementary part to the gate (trigger) is needed to open the hairpin and release the ribosome binding site. In this case two triggers are needed that form a trigger complex to open the gate (BBa_K2970000 and BBa_K2970001).

To transform this part into bacteria it should be put on a plasmid together with a promoter and a terminator. We used this part to regulate a chloramphenicol resistance gene that we put behind the gate (BBa_K2970006).
