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.

Additional Bacterial Parts
Novel Zero Leak Inverter ([http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122007 K122007] and [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122006 K122006])
| [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122007 K122007] |
The supF construct, an amber suppressor tRNA, allows for read-through at native amber (TAG) stop codons. |

| [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K122006 K122006] |
Point Mutation of RFP(13521) with incorporation of an amber stop codon at the chemophore. |
923 |
Through incorporation of amber stop codons or point mutations of tyrosine codons (TAC) to TAG within the coding region, a genetic circuit can be used to add an additional level of regulation and determine whether a full protein or partial peptide with be synthesized. This design has characteristically high signal-to-noise ratio, with virtually no leakage.
