IGEM:IMPERIAL/2007/Projects/Interesting Parts From Registry

List of parts we find potentially useful for a project.

inducible promoters

 * hybB (cold shock promoter): BBa_J45503


 * htpG (heat shock promoter): BBa_J45504

inducers/repressors

 * LacI ts (temperature sensitive)
 * Description: Temperature sensitive LacI, activated at 37&deg;C?
 * Potential use: Thermo bacteria
 * Link: BBa_J06501
 * Literature: # LacIts pmid=17590925

sensing parts

 * Aspartate Chemotaxis
 * Description: Chemotaxis
 * Potential Use:
 * Link: BBa_C0082

Logic gates

 * Invertor
 * Description:A transcription factor [LuxR] (BBa_C0062) that is active in the presence of cell-cell signaling molecule 3OC6HSL is controlled by a tetR regulatable operator (BBa_R0040). Device input is 3OC6HSL. Device output is PoPS from a LuxR-regulated operator. If used in a cell containing TetR then a second input signal such as aTc can be used to produce a logical AND function.
 * Potential Use: Logic circuits
 * Link: BBa_F2620
 * Tet Invertor
 * Description: A standar invertor where TetR represses ptet
 * Potential Use: Found in thermostat
 * Link BBa_Q04400
 * AND gate
 * Description: X verter RBS regulation prototype. Output given only if both the genes are expressed.
 * Potential Use: Logic circuits
 * Link: BBa_J32008
