Coding
BBa_K1088000 dxs (B. subtilis)
The BioBrick contains the coding region of the dxs gene derived from the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis. Dxs is the first enzyme in the MEP pathway converting pyruvate and GAP GAPGlyceraldehyde-3-phosphate into DXP. DXP1-Deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate

BBa_K1088003 HRT2
The BioBrick contains the coding region of the HRT2 gene derived from Hevea brasiliensis and codon-optimized for Escherichia coli. HRT2 is the prenyl transferase that polymerizes IPP IPPIsopentenyl pyrophosphate and DMAPP DMAPPDimethylallyl pyrophosphate into rubber.

BBa_K1088004 ispG
The BioBrick contains the coding region of the ispG gene derived from the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. ispG is the sixth enzyme in the MEP pathway converting MEcPP MEcPP2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclopyrophosphate into HMB-PP. HMB-PP(E)-4-Hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate

BBa_K1088005 araC
The BioBrick contains the coding region of the araC gene derived from the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. AraC is a DNA-binding protein that regulates the transcription of operons involved in arabinose metabolism. With glucose present AraC functions as a repressor, and without glucose and with arabinose present it functions as an activator.

BBa_K1088018 lacI
The BioBrick contains the coding region of the lacI gene derived from the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. LacI is a DNA-binding protein that inhibits the transcription from the lac promoter when allolactose or IPTG IPTGIsopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside is absent.
Regulatory devices
BBa_K1088017 Pcon-araC-term
araC is being expressed from a constitutively active promoter. A terminator is put behind the coding region to prevent transcription of genes downstream of the activator. The device was used to check if we could enhance the control of the arabinose promoter.

BBa_K1088019 Pcon-lacI(N)-term
lacI is being expressed from a constitutively active promoter. A terminator is put behind the coding region to prevent transcription of genes downstream of the repressor. The device was used to enable us to control the lactose promoter. This device proved be most effective together for expression control.

BBa_K1088020 Pcon-lacI:LVA-term
lacI:LVA (BBa_C0012) is being expressed from a constitutively active promoter. A terminator is put behind the coding region to prevent transcription of genes downstream of the repressor. The LVA-tag is a tag for degradation, and thus there is increased turnover of the protein. The device is meant to enable us to control the lactose promoter. However natural LacI proved to be more effective than the LVA-tagged.
