  <li>BBa_K1807000 was designed as a blue-white screening device that would also be easily used in Gibson Assembly. Surrounding the lacZ alpha coding sequence are two SmaI restriction sites (CCC/GGG). SmaI is a blunt-end endonuclease- we used it to simulatenously linearize our vector and remove the lacZ alpha coding sequence. Our BioBricks contained overhangs that make them compatible with the SmaI-digested BBa_K1807000.

<p>Each team will make new parts during iGEM and will submit them to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. The iGEM software provides an easy way to present the parts your team has created. The <code>&lt;groupparts&gt;</code> tag (see below) will generate a table with all of the parts that your team adds to your team sandbox.</p>

<p>Remember that the goal of proper part documentation is to describe and define a part, so that it can be used without needing to refer to the primary literature. Registry users in future years should be able to read your documentation and be able to use the part successfully. Also, you should provide proper references to acknowledge previous authors and to provide for users who wish to know more.</p>

BBa_K1807000

  • This device allows for the IPTG-inducible expression of lacZα peptide which in the presence of Xgal in the medium and chromosomal lacZΔM15 produces blue-coloured colonies. The device was used as an expression vector. SmaI restriction sites flank the lacZ alpha coding sequence. Cutting the part with this enzyme allows for the in-frame insertion of any desired protein coding sequence that contains the splice-in flanking sequences (they can be found in the design section).
  • BBa_K1807000 was designed as a blue-white screening device that would also be easily used in Gibson Assembly. Surrounding the lacZ alpha coding sequence are two SmaI restriction sites (CCC/GGG). SmaI is a blunt-end endonuclease- we used it to simulatenously linearize our vector and remove the lacZ alpha coding sequence. Our BioBricks contained overhangs that make them compatible with the SmaI-digested BBa_K1807000. The overhang sequences used to make this part are as follows:

BBa_K1807001

  • This part codes for the exopolyphosphatase (PPX) enzyme of Escherichia coli. PPX is able to release phosphate residues from the ends of a polyphosphate chain.

BBa_K1807002

  • This part is a protein coding device containing the Polyphosphate Kinase (PPK) gene from Escherichia coli. PPK produces polyphosphate, more specifically PPK catalyzes the reversible conversion of the γ-phosphate of ATP to the end of the polyphosphate chain (Akiyama et al., 1992). This enzyme is responsible for the formation of long chain polyphosphate molecules (up to a thousand orthophosphate residues long).

BBa_K1807003

  • This part is a protein coding device containing the Polyphosphate Kinase (PPK) gene from Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis strain BA-91. PPK produces polyphosphate, more specifically PPK catalyzes the reversible conversion of the γ-phosphate of ATP to the end of the polyphosphate chain. This enzyme is responsible for the formation of long chain polyphosphate molecules (up to a thousand orthophosphate residues long).

BBa_K1807004

  • This part is a protein coding device containing the Polyphosphate Kinase (PPK) gene from Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis strain Sk-12. PPK produces polyphosphate, more specifically PPK catalyzes the reversible conversion of the γ-phosphate of ATP to the end of the polyphosphate chain. This enzyme is responsible for the formation of long chain polyphosphate molecules (up to a thousand orthophosphate residues long).

BBa_K1807005

  • This part is a protein coding device containing the Polyphosphate Kinase (PPK) gene from Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis strain UW-1. PPK produces polyphosphate, more specifically PPK catalyzes the reversible conversion of the γ-phosphate of ATP to the end of the polyphosphate chain. This enzyme is responsible for the formation of long chain polyphosphate molecules (up to a thousand orthophosphate residues long).

BBa_K1807006

  • This part is a protein coding device containing the Polyphosphate Kinase (PPK) gene from Kingella oralis. PPK produces polyphosphate, more specifically PPK catalyzes the reversible conversion of the γ-phosphate of ATP to the end of the polyphosphate chain. This enzyme is responsible for the formation of long chain polyphosphate molecules (up to a thousand orthophosphate residues long).

BBa_K1807007

  • This part is a protein coding device containing the Phosphate Specific Transporter (Pst) gene from Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatisSCAB. This transporter consists of 4 individual genes- pstA, pstC, pstB and pstS. PstA and pstC are phosphate transporter permeases, pstB is a phosphate transporter ATPase and pstS is a phosphate transporter periplasmic binding protein.
