Name Type Description Designers Organism Length
BBA_K118011 Regulatory This is the promoter for the Escherichia coli JM109 cstA gene. It includes the CRP-binding site and the RNA polymerase-binding site. Low glucose concentration results in increased activity by adenylate cyclase. cAMP binds to the cAMP receptor protein, which, in its bound form, is able to associate with the promoter and promote transcription of the downstream gene. (cstA encodes the carbon starvation protein.) Andrew Hall iGEM08_Edinburgh Escherichia coli 131
BBa_B0030 Regulatory Strong RBS based on Ron Weiss thesis Vinay S Escherichia coli 15
BBa_B0015 Regulatory BBa_B0015 is a composite terminator made by joining 2 other terminators, one derived from E. coli (BBa_B0010) and the other from the T7 phage (BBa_B0012). Unlike what one can guess from the name and origin, the E. coli terminator can terminate transcription by T7 RNA polymerase, but not the T7 TE terminator. Indeed, BBa_B0010 is the E. coli rrnB T1 terminator which was shown to be an efficient terminator for the E. coli RNA polymerase, but also for the phage SP6 and T7 RNA polymerases through two different mechanism: one involving an upstream hairpin structure and the other one a downstream sequence-specific signal [1–3]. However, the T7 TE terminator (BBa_B0012) is located at the end of the T7 DNA ligase gene which is in the early region of bacteriophage T7 genome [4]. This terminator is an efficient one for the E. coli RNA polymerase, but not for the T7 RNA polymerase. Reshma Shetty iGEM20_Paris Escherichia coli 129
BBa_R1051 Regulatory The cI regulated promoter is based on the pR promtoer from bacteriohage lambda. The promoter has two two DNA binding sites for lambda cI repressor BBa_C0051. cI binding results in repression of transcription. The specific sequence used here is based on the cI repressible promoter used in the Elowitz repressilator Vinay S Mahajan, Brian Chow, Peter Carr, Voichita Marinescu and Alexander D.

BBa_K118022 Coding cex The cellulolytic bacterium Cellulomonas fimi uses an exoglucanase (from cex, accession M15824) along with 3 endoglucanases in the degradation of cellulose into cellobiose, before use B-glucosidase to catalyse the conversion of cellobiose to D-glucose. Andrew Hall, iGEM08_Edinburgh Cellulomonas fimi 1352
BBa_K118023 Coding cen The cellulolytic bacterium Cellulomonas fimi uses 3 endoglucanases (including CenA, accession M15823) and an exoglucanase in the degradation of cellulose into cellobiose, before using beta-glucosidase to catalyse the conversion of cellobiose to D-glucose. Andrew Hall, iGEM08_Edinburgh Cellulomonas fimi 1460
BBa_K4368002 Basic bglX BglX encodes for the β-glucosidase gene of Escherichia coli. This enzyme is responsible of the degradation of cellulose working coordinated with the genes cenA and cex. This complex is known as CAZymes. In detail, bglX degradates the cellobiose formed by cenA and cex and transformed it into glucose. This basic part only corresponds to the coding sequence of the gene, no RBS or terminator is attached.

BBa_K4368003 Coding bglX BglX encodes for the β-glucosidase gene of Escherichia coli (BBa_K4368002). This enzyme is responsible of the degradation of cellulose working coordinated with the genes cenA and cex. In addition, this part includes the composition used by the team, which includes a strong rbs (BBa_B0030), a double terminator (BBa_B0015) as well as a promoter inducible by glucose concentration (BBa_K118011). The gene has been placed under the control of this promoter to build the glucose concentration-based gene regulatory circuit that integrates all our parts.

BBa_K118016 Coding glgC This is the coding sequence of glgC (ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase) from Escherichia coli JM109 with the substitution G336D. This mutation is known to cause increased activity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase in the absence of the activator fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), high affinity for FBP and substrates lower affinity for the inhibitor AMP. Andrew Hall, iGEM08_Edinburgh Escherichia coli 1299
BBa_C0051 Coding cI Coding region for the cI repressor based on cI repressor from bacteriophage lambda modified with an LVA tail for rapid degradation of the protein. cI repressor binds to the cI regulator (BBa_R0051). Vina S Mahajan, Brian Chow, Peter Carr, Voichita Marinescu and Alexander D. Wissner-Gross Escherichia coli 775

pSB1C3 Plasmid backbone High copy BioBrick assembly plasmid pSB1C3 is a high copy number plasmid (RFC [10]) carrying chloramphenicol resistance. The replication origin is a pUC19-derived pMB1 (copy number of 100-300 per cell). pSB1C3 has terminators bracketing its MCS which are designed to prevent transcription from *inside* the MCS from reading out into the vector. The efficiency of these terminators is known to be < 100%. Ideally we would construct a future set of terminators for bracketing a MCS that were 100% efficient in terminating both into and out of the MCS region. Austin Che 2070
