When constructing our parts, we made use of the IDT synthesis offer. This way we were able to generate our required parts in a fast and efficient way. All of the parts we synthesised contain the coding sequence, RBS, promoter and terminators, if applicable. Therefore, these parts are composite. The different basic parts comprising the composite parts are documented separately, and also exist as separate BioBricks. This is advantageous for those wishing to combine one of our basic parts with a different expression level or compose a different composite part altogether. These basic parts were generated by using PCR and restriction ligation on the synthesised composite parts. We created a part collection comprised of 4 composite parts encoding for different Tardigrade Proteins (TDPs) and the 4 basic parts of these genes, all with elaborate characterisation so the user may choose the best protein for their project accordingly. For the composite parts of the TDPs we designed a new, strong RBS. This part does not exist separately. Additionally, we include the documentation of a basic part encoding the gene for Cas13a, derived from the plasmid pC011 from the authors of Gootenberg et al. 2017. This BioBrick does not exist separately. Finally, we submitted a composite part containing a nonsense spacer with flanking double repeats (with constitutive promoter), appropriate for use for Cas13a. This part is designed so that the user can easily change the spacer according to the sequence they wish to target. Find more info on this cool part on its page in the registry! We also documented this as a basic part without a promoter. This part does not exist separately. Our favourite basic part is BBa_K2306003 and our favourite composite part is BBa_K2306008.
In our project, we added to the characterisation of an existing Biobrick, the TolR, periplasmic domain design by Gavin Sutton from iGEM Australia 2016. Additionally, our TorA-GFP composite part was based on the BioBrick created by NTU Trontheim with some alterations, such as the removal of the RFP sequence. This enabled us to build on their knowledge and improve the function.
