Submitted Parts
And so, the iGEM parts registry grows
Browse through the tabs below to get a complete picture of our submitted parts. Feel free to follow the links to parts registry, where you can find information on sequencing, characterization, etc.
Coding
BBa_K1088000
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 Has been sequenced.
BBa_K1088003
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. Has been sequenced and HRT2 function characterized by H1-NMR.
BBa_K1088004
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 Has been sequenced.
BBa_K1088005
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
The BioBrick contains the coding region of the lacI gene derived from the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli.
