pSAD
pSAD is constitutive promoter pSAD from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. It is a high constitutive expression promoter that encodes for a ferrodoxin-binding protein of photosystem I. This pSAD promoter was submitted in 2014 by the Concordia team (BBa_K1547005). To be compatible with the PhytoBrick standard (RFC1000), an illegal BpiI restriction site was removed (A289T). We cloned P pSAD by PCR amplification in A2-A3 fusion site to use it for our retrotransposon design. Acceptor plasmid is the MoClo Universal pL0 acceptor plasmid pAGM9121. We sequenced again the sequence to be sure there is no unwanted mutations.
Role in our project
Our part is compatible with the PhytoBrick MoClo standard. This PhytoBrick was intented to be use as constitutive promoter for the transcription unit of paromomycine in the CARGO of our synthetic retrotransposons for directed evolution on the Chlamydomoas. It is part of our reporter system to characterize the activity and transposition rate.paromycin resistance gene
The sequence of resistance marker to paromomycine is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. The aphVIII gene from Streptomyces rimosus encode for an aminoglycoside 3’-phosphotransferase gene (aph). From the aphVIII gene sequence of the BioBrick BBa_K1884013 (iGEM16_SZU-China) BpiI estriction site were removed ( G551C) by PCR point mutation. We cloned aphVIII by PCR amplification in B4-B5 position of the MoClo standard2 to use it in our retrotransposon design. Acceptor plasmid is the MoClo Universal pL0 acceptor plasmid pAGM91212. We sequenced again the sequence to be sure there is no unwanted mutations.
Role in our project
Our part is compatible with the PhytoBrick MoClo standard. This PhytoBrick was intended to be used as a rapporter gene in the CARGO to test the functionality of our synthetic retrotransposons for directed evolution in C. reinhardtii.RBCS2i1
This is the second intron of the rubisco protein from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
3'LTR_Cr
Long-Terminal-Repeat in the 3'end of a retrotransposon (or retrovirus). It contains the information necessary to start the reverse transcription.
5'LTR
Long-Terminal-repeat in the 5'end of a retrotransposon (or retrovirus). It contains the regulatory elements to start the transcription of the retrotransposon.
