Philosophy

The Freiburg 2007 iGEM Team designed the Freiburg Standard RFC[25] as an extension of the BioBrick Standard RFC[10], which adds two restriction sites while maintaining the BioBrick sites in the prefix and suffix. The motivation for the Freiburg Standard is to allow for in-frame protein fusions, while also avoiding some of the issues with the Silver Standard.


Advantages

  • in-frame fusion of protein parts
  • benign protein scar
  • N-end rule safe (long protein half-life)
  • provision for preserving native N-terminal while using RBS parts
  • both new enzymes can be heat-inactivated
  • stand-alone protein expression (start + stop in prefix / suffix)
  • full BBa compatibility -- functionally & compositionally equivalent to BBa protein coding part
  • blunt-cutting isochizomer of NgoMIV (NaeI) -- possibility of directional cloning with two inner restriction sites enables part transfer between different formats and other potentially interesting transfer reactions.

Disadvantages

  • N-parts are assembled with a different enzyme combination.
  • not compatible to BioFusion protein parts (frame shift + stop codon), but see below!


Technical Specifications

Compatability/Illegal Sites

In order for a part to be compatible with the Freiburg Standard it must not contain the following restriction sites, as these will need to be unique to the prefix and suffix:

  • EcoRI site: GAATTC
  • XbaI site: TCTAGA
  • NgoMIV site: GCCGGC
  • AgeI site: ACCGGT
  • SpeI site: ACTAGT
  • PstI site: CTGCAG
  • NotI site: GCGGCCGC


Prefix and Suffix

             Prefix                                     Suffix
5' - GAATTC GCGGCCGC T TCTAGA TG GCCGGC...part... ACCGGT TAAT ACTAGT A GCGGCCG CTGCAG - 3'
     EcoRI    NotI      XbaI     NgoMIV            AgeI        SpeI     NotI    PstI

Assembling two parts leaves the following scar: 

5' [part A] ACTAGA [part B] 3'
