Detection construct


The assembly of our detection construct proved to be tricky. Not only the traditional cloning approach failed but also the assembly using synthesized gBlocks delivered no results. We finally turned to an In-Fusion cloning approach to assemble our construct. Visit our lab book to read more about our work flow.

Fluorescence proteins


The genes for our FRET pair, mKate and LssmOrange, were isolated by PCR, cloned into the biobrick vector and sequenced afterwards. The genes were also cloned into a commercially available expression vector in order to characterize the fluorescent proteins. Visit our lab book to read more about our work flow.

Safety


The assembly of the blue-light sensitive pDawn construct from gBlocks failed. Although the construction of the pezT construct from gBlocks was successful, multiple transformations of pSB1C3-pezT failed. Visit our lab book to read more about our work flow.

Cutinase


Here, we present the improvement approach of the Fusarium Solani Cutinase (FsC, PID: BBa K808025). The FsC was one of the PET cleavage enzymes from the iGEM Team TU-Darmstadt 2012. We improved this part with a pelB leader and a reporter(mRFP1-His6) system with a TEV cleavage site. This construct is regulated by pBAD (PID: BBa I0500) and cloned into the pSB1C3 backbone.
