3’ untranslated regions do not function as efficient transcription terminators. They rather form stem-loop RNA secondary structures that are thought to protect the mature RNA from 3’-5’ exoribonucleases. While 3’UTRs play a strong role in the accumulation of RNA transcripts (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11103-010-9689-1 ), their effect on protein accumulation is in most cases rather limited (https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-313x.2002.01340.x ). Nonetheless, under specific conditions and depending on the protein that is planned to be expressed, the choice of the 3’UTR may play a bigger role in protein expression.

psbA 3-UTR (Nicotiana tabacum)

Part Description

This part was created using the Phytobrick Entry Vector with GFP dropout BBa_K2560002 and was designed to be compatible with the Phytobrick assembly standard. All parts created this year were acquired via PCR from purified DNA samples using a CTAB based method [1], by primer annealing, primer annealing, and extension reactions or synthesized via IDT/Twist.


All parts this year were produced to be used in the chloroplast of different plant species. For the characterization of these parts they were tested in chloroplast cell-free systems (ccfs) from either the same species or they were tested in ccfs from other plant species. Plastid parts offer the benefit of highly conserved regulatory sequences that can be used across species. Although characterizing chloroplast parts is a huge effort, in literature, it has been shown that plastid parts can be used across species to drive gene expression [2]. We believe that based on this knowledge we can create valuable parts that can be screened for activity in our system with the final goal of building a variety of different parts. This collection shall help combat unwanted recombination events in vivo that sometimes impede the successful functionality of the genetic design.

3’UTR

3’ untranslated regions do not function as efficient transcription terminators. They rather form stem-loop RNA secondary structures that are thought to protect the mature RNA from 3’-5’ exoribonucleases. While 3’UTRs play a strong role in the accumulation of RNA transcripts [3], their effect on protein accumulation is in most cases rather limited [4]. Nonetheless, under specific conditions and depending on the protein that is planned to be expressed, the choice of the 3’UTR may play a bigger role in protein expression.
