6/8/15

Our team spent time discussing project ideas, establishing the overall goal to create an on/off “switch” for the mitochondria in S. cerevisiae. We also spent time clarifying each of the medal requirements, inquiring from iGEM headquarters on questions that arose. We began discussing possibilities for parts submissions, including the ORF for mRPS12, a promoter, and a reporter. Since yeast are able to survive without mitochondria on fermentable media, we will test the efficacy of our construct using a growth test on fermentable and nonfermentable carbon sources. The strains with their mitochondria turned off are expected to only grow on fermentable media. We also discussed Kozak sequences and determined that the Kozak sequence listed on the registry on the yeast page is actually the mammalian sequence. Our team began researching the consensus Kozak sequence in yeast.
