Design Notes

This part was made to put the synthetic enhancer suite (Amit et. al. 2011) onto the Biobrick backbone flanked by UNS for easy cloning. Furthermore, we exchanged the reporter gene with sfGFP for more pronounced fluorescent measurements of the step wise transfer functions.

Source

The enhancer, tet cassette, glnAp2 synthetic promoter, and NRI coding region sequences were derived from Amit, R., Garcia, H. G., Phillips, R. & Fraser, S. E. Building enhancers from the ground up: a synthetic biology approach. Cell146, 105–118 (2011). The sfGFP flourescent reporter design is inspired by C. Lou, B. Stanton, Y.-J. Chen, B. Munsky, C. A. Voigt, Ribozyme-based insulator parts buffer synthetic circuits from genetic context. Nat. Biotechnol. 30, 1137 (2012). doi:10.1038/nbt.2401 pmid:23034349. The UNS sequences at the ends of the insert are derived from Torella, J. P., Boehm, C. R., Lienert, F., Chen, J. H., Way, J. C., & Silver, P. A. (2013). Rapid construction of insulated genetic circuits via synthetic sequence-guided isothermal assembly. Nucleic acids research, gkt860. A huge thanks to all the researchers involved in its original creation!
