Part:pSB1A10

Screening Plasmid v1.0

This plasmid can be used to do a rough characterization of the Input/Output curve for a PoPS-based device. Additionally, it can be used for screening of part or device libaries via FACS. More information can be [http://openwetware.org/index.php?title=Endy:Screening_plasmid_1.0 found here.] Note that this plasmid contains ccdb, so should be transformed into Part:BBa_V1005, or another compatible strain for initial preparation.

Schematic of Screening Plasmid 1.0: We are using the Pbad arabinose-inducible induction system as a tunable input Khlebnikov. GFP is a measure of input and RFP is a measure of output. A BioBrick® cloning site enables easy insertion of any BioBrick® part. RNase E sites create independence between the mRNA stability of the device being screened and the mRNA stability of the fluorescent proteins. In particular, we suspect mRFP1 contains internal RNaseE cut sites and have added a hairpin 5’ of the coding region to slow degradation by RNase E Smolke.

Note: The sequence below is incorrect because the backbone that the SP device was inserted into was psb1A2 rather than psb1A3, so there is a terminator (not annotated) in the sequence below at position 1044-1121 that isn't actually present in the DNA of psb1A10. Updating this will take some time because I need to change all the feature locations by hand - but the Vector NTI file is correct.
