Part:BBa_K1766002

MicF regulated GFP

This part consists of the micF target region of the E. coli ompF gene fused to GFP. MicF is a non-coding regulatory RNA that binds to the micF target region on the ompF RNA and prevents it from being translated [1]. Thus, the fusion protein should be consecutively produced under normal conditions and silensed in presence of micF.

This part was created as a reporter of the intracellular signal from the chimeric EnvZ-Affibody receptors, created by iGEM Stockholm 2015. The fluorescent colonies showed the right sequence for the micF target-GFP fusion protein when sequensed using Sanger sequencing. No further characterisation was attempted due to lack of time.
