IGEM:MIT/2005/Actuator

POC
Jessica

Function
The purpose of the actuator is to convert PoPS -> Cool

Description
Takes in PoPS from signal processor and converts into Action. If no signal processor, take in PoPs from Recievers

Goals

 * Collect the known reporters from both FecA and ToxR studies
 * Make sure reporter parts that are part of plasmids get here
 * Biobrick these parts
 * Test parts by using constitutive promoter

Current Status

 * Some parts specified
 * GFP under ctx promoter BBa_J07011
 * GFP under FecA promoter BBa_J07020
 * Parts done:
 * GFP with RBS (Strong) BBa_E0840


 * ../Actuators under consideration/

Experiments

 * put GFP under constitutive reporter --> test biobrick for future use

Open Issues/Questions

 * What are people planning to do for experiments to test for the overall signalling of the system?
 * Actuator compatable with analog/digital signal
 * LVA degradation time
 * What is cool?
 * TK has all sorts of luciferase
 * DE knows somebody in MN who has all sort of pigment genes cloned
 * motility?
