Parts to Make:

HixL: TTCTGGAAAA CCAAGGTTTT TGATAA

HixR: TTATCAAAAA CCTTCCAAAA GGAAAA

HixC: TTATCAAAAA CCATGGTTTT TGATAA

HixC1: TTCTGGAAAACC AT CCAAAAGGAAAA


Steps

1. Design/Order DNA – Hix L, R, & C

       - Want to do a Left to Right BioB addition:  Promoter + RBS w/AmpR -->Hix site-->
         Term-->Hix(C)site-->TetR + Term

2. On receiving – restrict/ligate BioBricks into plasmid w/resistance gene on one side

    a.	Promoter, RBS BioB
    b.	TetR BioB (Backwards)
    c.	Term BioB 

3. Transform E. coli


E = G/AATC

X = T/CTAGA

P = CGAT/CG

S = A/CTAGT

hix BioBricks

Hey, it's your Davidson pals.We noticed that your biobricks do not have the Not1 site between E and X in the prefix and S and P in the suffix Thanks.

E - N - X - hix - S - N - P

Does there have to be a T between NotI and XbaI and an A between SpeI and NotI? All the parts we looked at (10 of them) had this.

Backwards Parts

Because we wish to start with elements that are reversed (upside down pancakes), we need to think about how to get backwards parts. That is, parts that have the Prefix, then reversed element (promoter, term, CDS, RBS), then Suffix. Several possible ways:

  1. Some parts are backwards in the registry - terminators, for eg.
  2. Parts that are not long could be synthesized backwards.
  3. If one pancake can be flipped, reversed parts can be made. This may actually be a good contribution, since it could be applied to reverse any part between two hix sites.

For example, the RBS Bba_B0034 has this sequence:

gaattcgcggccgcttctaga gaaagaggagaaat actagtagcggccgctgcag

It could be redesigned with the RBS reversed:

gaattcgcggccgcttctaga gtttctcctctttt actagtagcggccgctgcag
