An important aspect of the iGEM competition is the use and creation of standard biological parts. Each team will make new parts during iGEM and will place them in the [http://partsregistry.org Registry of Standard Biological Parts]. The iGEM software provides an easy way to present the parts your team has created . The "groupparts" tag will generate a table with all of the parts that your team adds to your team sandbox.  Note that if you want to document a part you need to document it on the [http://partsregistry.org Registry], not on your team wiki.

Remember that the goal of proper part documentation is to describe and define a part such that it can be used without a need to refer to the primary literature. The next iGEM team 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.

Characterization of reporters

To assess the strength of our promoters when induced with Dexamethasone, we performed a fluorometric assay using mCherry as our reporter.Since we don't have our transactivating protein ready yet, we co-transformed our parts into the E. coli DH10B strain with the pAT7002 vector (Aoyama and Chua, 1997), which contains a well characterized Glucocorticoid Responsive Element that also uses the GAL4 DNA binding domain.

Unsaturated curve where we see how the mCherry reporter appears after the addition of 10 uM dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid. Emmision intensity was measured at 607nm after excitation at 586nm


Saturated curve for fluorescence. After three hours of the addition of 10 uM dexamethasone the reporter (mCherry) reaches its highest signal. We can see the different strengths depending on the number of UAS boxes. Emmision intensity was measured at 607nm after excitation at 586nm


We also decided to visually inspect our induced transformants. Here two of the images taken using a epifluorescent microscopy with a TRITC filter.


Cells with the E2GF part (BBa_K1144006) showing their fluorescent reporter, mCherry, after induction with 10 uM dexamethasone! The filter used was TRITC
Cells with the E4GF part (BBa_K1144008) showing their fluorescent reporter, mCherry, after induction with 10 uM dexamethasone! The filter used was TRITC
