Constructs

Saccharomyces cerevisiae are widely used for baking and brewing, and they are particular useful for synthesizing metabolites under fermentation conditions which prevent the air oxidation of many useful compounds. To achieve our project and expand the synthetic biology toolbox for programming yeast, we have introduced into the iGem registry BioBricks encoding 3 yeast promoters, 3 yeast terminators, a two micron origin of replication, 2 selectable markers, 2 enzymes, and a yeast integration plasmid. In addition, we have generated seven constructs using these parts. Furthermore, we have submitted two additional parts representing a foundational tool, including a gene encoding an amber suppressed RFP biobrick for screening of SupF+ (Amber suppressor) genotype and an amber suppressor tRNA biobrick.

Yeast Regulator Biobricks

Three unique constitutive and repressible yeast promoters were introduced into the registry.

Yeast Promoters
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122000 BBa_K122000] pPGK1 This is the 1500 bp upstream of the PGK1 coding region in an industrial yeast strain. Constitutive promoter. 1497
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122002 BBa_K122002] pADH1 700bp upstream of ADH1 promoter region containing RBS. Constitutive promoter. 701
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122001 BBa_K122017] pGAL1 + tetO The GAL1 promoter which is highly repressed by glucose. An additional tetracycline operator site was included upstream of the RBS to allow repression by tetR. 484

Four additional yeast terminators were introduced into the registry.

Yeast Terminators
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122003 BBa_K122003] tCYC1 300bp downstream the CYC1 coding region in a standard yeast strain. 300
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122004 BBa_K122004] tADH1 300bp downstream the ADH1 coding region in a standard yeast strain. 300
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122013 BBa_K122013] tPGK1 1000bp downstream the PGK1 coding region in an industrial yeast strain. 1000

Selectable Markers
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122001 BBa_K122018] ZeoR Zeocin Resistance Gene 300
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122008 BBa_K122008] BleoR Bleocin Resistance Gene under pTet promoter 800ish
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122014 BBa_K122014] ORI+HisTag 2 Micron ORI and Histadine Tag <9000

 



Project Specific Constructs

This year's project involved the integration of 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase/ stilbene synthase fusion protein, a tyrosine ammonia lyase, and a zeocin resistance selectable marker. For more information, please visit Strategy.
