Parts Submitted to the Registry

Please check back later for BioBrick numbers.

GFP

Although there are multiple GFP parts in the registry already, this part uses the modified Silver BioBrick prefix and suffix to allow for protein construction.

  • BioBrick Number:

p1025

This sequence codes for a short peptide, found to competitively inhibit binding of S.mutans to the tooth surface ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9920267?dopt=Abstract|Kelly CG et al.; Nature Biotechnol. 1999]). S.mutans takes in sugars and secretes lactic acid, causing dental cavities, so introduction of this peptide into the mouth prevents colonies. This part uses the modified Silver BioBrick prefix and suffix to allow for protein construction.

  • BioBrick Number:

L.bulgaricus signal

This is a short signal sequence recognized as a secretion tag by Lactobacillus strains. It was isolated from the 5' end of the prtB gene in Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which codes for a lactose digesting protein that is bound to the surface ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12788739?dopt=Abstract| Germond JE et al.; Appl Environ Microbiol. 2003]). This part uses the modified Silver BioBrick prefix and suffix to allow for protein construction.

  • BioBrick Number:

FLAG tag

This is the well-known FLAG tag for use in antibody binding assays. This part uses the modified Silver BioBrick prefix and suffix to allow for protein construction.

  • BioBrick Number:

HA tag

This is the well-known HA tag for use in antibody binding assays. This part uses the modified Silver BioBrick prefix and suffix to allow for protein construction.

  • BioBrick Number:

His tag

This codes for six Histidine residues to allow for His column protein purification. It will work best if put at either the N or C terminus of your protein construct. This part uses the modified Silver BioBrick prefix and suffix to allow for protein construction.

  • BioBrick Number:

Tev Cleavage Site

This codes for the seven amino acid sequences that is recognized by the Tobacco Etch Virus protease. The amino acid sequenced used is:

  • Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Gly.

The TEV protease cuts between Gln and Gly. This part uses the modified Silver BIoBrick prefix and suffix to allow for protein construction.

  • BioBrick Number:
