Three components constitute our transcription factor development pipeline. The first is a selection system which lyses cells containing strong matches between a mutated transcription factor and its promoter and allows for the speedy recovery of the relevant DNA. The second component is an ''in vivo'' characterization system that uses two different reporter systems as a way to document the binding affinities of the TetR transcription factor and its promoter pTet. The third component is an ''in vitro'' characterization system called MITOMI that allows high-throughput quantitative analysis of DNA-protein interaction strengths.

''Description:'' The T7 promoter upstream of the RFP gene, set in the pSB3K1 backbone

In developing these three pillars, a number of parts were made. We have listed all of them here and have highlighted our favorites.

=== Systems ===
-
''Plasmid Map:''
+
'''Selection System''': We cloned the Berkeley Lysis cassette (BBa_K112808) under control of the T7 promoter into a low copy number plasmid (pSB3K1, formerly BBa_I739202).
-
''Saturation Curves:''
+
'''In Vivo Characterization''': We cloned an RFP gene under control of T7 promoter variants (parts BBa_K613001 through BBa_K613012) into a low copy number plasmid (pSB3K1, formerly BBa_I739202). We also cloned TetR mutants (parts BBa_K613013 through BBa_K613019) into a  a low copy number plasmid (pSB3K1, formerly BBa_I739202). Both sets of plasmids were thoroughly characterized using IPTG platereader experiments.
-
''Dose-Response Curves:''
+
'''In Vitro Characterization''': We characterized TetR mutants (parts BBa_K613013, BBa_K613015, BBa_K613016, BBa_K613017, BBa_K613019) in the low copy number plasmid pSB3K1 (formerly BBa_I739202).

Our three favourite parts are TetR mutants, characterised ''in-vivo'' using our reporter systems, and ''in-vitro'' by MITOMI.

''ATC induction''
 
-
 
-
The platereader experiment was run for 12h, using 0-0.1-5-25-200-300-800-1000-1200-1500 nM/ul final concentrations of ATC. The cells were cotransformed with pSB3K1 Pconst-TetR and J61002 Ptet-RFP, to use the fluorescent protein as a readout for TetR inactivation by ATC. All the concentrations were tested on 4 different cultures, shown in the next graphs:

These data are coming from the same experiment; they show the saturation value of RFP expression for each ATC concentration. The values were averaged over the 4 different cell cultures.
