Applications of BBa_K1467204

NRP-UEA iGEM 2014

The part was used by iGEM14_NRP-UEA-Norwich as a reporter to test several different promoters with the aim of determining which would be the most useful in further stages of the project. Golden Gate cloning was used to hook GFP up to the promoters 35s (BBa_K1467101), BS3 (BBa_K1467102), PDF1.2 (BBa_K1467103) and PR1 to produce transcriptional units that expressed GFP in Nicotiana Benthamiana following infiltration of agrobacterium carrying the relevant plasmid.

Nicotiana Benthamiana leaves under UV light following infiltration of agrobacterium carrying the constructs (A) 35s_GFP_ocs, (B) BS3_GFP_ocs, (C) PDF1.2_GFP_ocs. In each case GFP protein has be transcribed and is shown as florescence under UV light following activation of the promoter (35s is constitutive, BS3 has been induced by the TALE AvrBS3 and PDF1.2 has been induced by Methyl Jasmonate).


NRP-UEA 2015

This year at NRP-UEA, we aimed to develop a prebiotic, which involved the acylation/butyrlation of starch. We aimed to achieve this in plants by using various acyltransferases. We used GFP to tag our constructs in order to confirm the localisation of our parts to the chloroplast, where starch is produced.

This GFP part was included in parts BBa_K1618029, BBa_K1618030, BBa_K1618031, and BBa_K1618032 due to its GoldenGate and BioBrick compatibility.
