Precipitator
Green light receptor
red light receptor
In August we decided to drop the red light receptor system.
The main reason was that Jakob had to leave the team to start studing in Starsbourg.
So the FreiGEM team shrunk to five people.
We talked to some of the iGEM teams like TU Munich also working with this system
and we are sure that the red light receptor is not lost.

Parts submitted to the registry
All our results are documented in our notebook and summarized in the partsregistry.
Here we shortly describe what happened to give you an idea about the current status of the different subprojects.
Please follow the links for more information.
Precipitator

IPTG-inducible Promoter with plastic binding domain-tagged GFP

Precipitator
The Precipitator is a new artificially designed LRR protein. It is meant as protein that binds Nickel ions with Histidines grouped on its surface. The bound Nickel can then precipitate His-tagged proteins. In our Lab in a Cell it should function as an adaptor between the plastic surface of pipettes and the His-tagged protein. Please look at our detailed description of the design layout in our modeling section. The sequence was synthesised and cloned into the iGEm vector. The submitted sequence was fully confirmed by sequencing.

Precipitator fused with GST tag
The Precipitator was fused with the C-terminus of our GST tag in order to extract and further test the construct for its Nickel binding affinity. We successfully cloned it together using the Gibson Assembly and then subsequently pasted it into the iGEM vector. The submitted sequence was partially confirmed by sequencing.

GST-tag
The GST-tag was PCR amplified from a pGEX vector with overhang primers including the iGEM restriction sites and then pasted into the iGEM vector. To verify the functionality of the construct we cloned it before a GFP sequence and expressed it with an IPTG inducible vector. Results see partsregistry page. The submitted sequence was partially confirmed by sequencing.

CcaR, green light response regulator
The green light response regulator CcaR was amplified via PCR from
the whole Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 genome and inserted into the pSB1C3 vector.

Bacteriophage Lysis Cassette with RBS
commons
At the beginning we had to assemble promoters and ribosome binding sites of different "strengths" (ie consensus identities)
in order to ensure proper and controlled expression of our parts.
The cloning procedure was time-consuming (circa two weeks), so we decided to
send our constructs to the registry. Herewith we hope to help others save some time.
We called these constructs PR to abbreviate "Promotor and RBS"

To quantify the strength of our PR-constructs we cloned GFP and RFP behind it
and quantified the protein output.
