These parts are the collections of suicide genes, which can kill a broad spectrum of cancer cells. That will be very useful in doing projects about cancer treatment. Besides, the part BBa_K1061006 is the hbax mutant, which can also kill yeast, which is a very general chassis in synthetic biology. Then hbax will be very useful to construct the safety device in yeast.

This part is the general safeguard device that may be used in gene therapy or cell therapy. It works through the action of the special gene, apoptin, which can specially kill cancer cells but leave the normal cells safe. It is a guardian angel, hence we call it "Expecto Patronum, inspired by the special curse in Harry Potter.
