Part:BBa_K3132000

Gal4-VP64

This part is transformed from the part: Gal4-KRAB(BBa_K2446037) of Igem17_Fudan. To turn this TF into an activating one, we replaced the KRAB domain with a VP64. And this approach successfully reversed its effect as we had expected. Gal4-VP64 containing three core domains from N-terminal to C-terminal: GAL4 DNA binding domain, nuclear location sequence and VP64 transcription regulating domain. And a (G4S) linker was added between DBD and NLS for providing region flexibility. GAL4DBD enable binding to specific DNA sequences, so that we can use Gal4-VP64 as a specific transcription factors to activate the expression of our downstream synthetic promoter elements and minimal CMV.

Summary: We have adapted the part to be able to assemble transcriptional units with the Golden Gate method and we have done the characterization of this RBS.
Documentation:
BBa_K2656011 is the RBS B0034 standardized into the Golden Braid assembly method. It also includes the BioBrick equivalent scar in the 3' extreme, so the insertion of this supplementary bases ensure correct spacing for the CDS expression when assembled into a TU.

Characterization of the this part was performed with the transcriptional unit BBa_K2656101 , which was used in a comparative RBS expression experiment with composite parts BBa_K2656101 and BBa_K2656102. They all were assembled in a Golden Braid alpha1 plasmid using the same promoter, CDS and terminator.

By using this [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Experiments#exp_protocol experimental protocol], we have obtained the parameters to valide our [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Modeling#models constitutive model]and rationale choose its [http://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Modeling#optimization optimization values] based on each RBS tested.
