The iGEM competition, a synthetic biology competition, is based on the use of BioBricks. BioBricks are biological fragments or parts, comparable to building blocks. Just as building blocks they allow individual use as well as assembly into bigger devices. In iGEM these BioBricks are created, documented and shared between all iGEM teams throughout the competition. Furthermore the number of these parts is steadily increased year by year. All BioBricks are recorded in one single giant catalog: the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. This year we contributed to the registry by submitting new parts, improving existing ones and, of course, using  parts already known to be reliable due to the experiences of teams from past years. All used BioBricks are listed in this page.

This device consists of the six subunits of the soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) of <i>Methlyococcus capsulatus</i> (Bath). The expression is controlled by a lacI-regulated promotor <a href="http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_R0011">BBa_R0011</a>. The sMMO is able to convert methane to methanol using oxygen and NAD(P)H. <!--(Eq1)--> Apart from the promoter, the BioBrick contains an RBS upstream of each subunit-encoding gene and a double terminator. The construct is therefore ready for expression in <i>E. coli</i>.

It is one of the basic principles of iGEM to build on the work of prior teams. We adapted this thought of collaborating and sharing when we built our expression constructs. In this process we used the following Standard BioBricks. We found all of these parts reliable and well-documented. These parts were provided in the iGEM 2014 DNA Distribution-Kit. For further information on why we chose exactly these BioBricks check our Results Page.

E. cowli - Fighting Climate Change - iGEM 2014 Team Braunschweig

Parts

Parts-Cow

The iGEM competition, a synthetic biology competition, is based on the use of BioBricks. BioBricks are biological fragments or parts, comparable to building blocks. Just as building blocks they allow individual use as well as assembly into bigger devices. In iGEM these BioBricks are created, documented and shared between all iGEM teams throughout the competition. Furthermore the number of these parts is steadily increased year by year. All BioBricks are recorded in one single giant catalog: the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.
This year we contributed to the registry by submitting new parts, improving existing ones and, of course, using parts already known to be reliable due to the experiences of teams from past years. All used BioBricks are listed on this page.

Our Favourite New Part - The Climate Change Killer

Part:BBa_K1390019 - complete sMMO from Methylococcus capsulatus This device consists of the six subunits of the soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) of Methlyococcus capsulatus (Bath). The expression is controlled by a lacI-regulated promotor BBa_R0011. The sMMO is able to convert methane to methanol using oxygen and NAD(P)H.
Apart from the promoter, the BioBrick contains an RBS upstream of each subunit-encoding gene and a double terminator. The construct is therefore ready for expression in E. coli.

Our New Parts

sMMO genes

We isolated all genes encoding the different subunits of the sMMO from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) and made them compatible with the RFC 10 Assembly Standard.

  1. BBa_K1390001 - mmoB
    The mmoB gene encodes the regulatory subunit B of the sMMO
  2. BBa_K1390005 - mmoY
    The mmoY gene encodes the β subunit of the hydoxylase of the sMMO.
  3. BBa_K1390006 - mmoZ
    The mmoZ gene encodes the γ subunit of the hydoxylase of the sMMO.
  4. BBa_K1390003 - mmoD
    The mmoD gene product might be important for the function of the sMMO, but the exact mechanism is still being investigated.

The other two sMMO genes can be found in the improved parts section.

Our His-tag Constructs

We provided each subunit of sMMO with a 6x His-tag. This tag facilitates purification and detection of the recombinant proteins.

  1. BBa_K1390007 - MMOB-His Generator
  2. BBa_K1390008 - MMOC-His Generator
  3. BBa_K1390009 - MMOD-His Generator
  4. BBa_K1390010 - MMOX-His Generator
  5. BBa_K1390011 - MMOY-His Generator
  6. BBa_K1390012 - MMOZ-His Generator

Our Improved Parts

    • BBa_K1390002- mmoC
      One of three subunits of the sMMO from M. capsulatus (Bath), which serves as a reductase using NADH as an electron donor.
    • Original Part: BBa_K593008 - mmo C
      The original part contained the wrong sequence without any distinct function.
    • Our improvement:
      The new part BBa_K1390002 now contains the original sequence from M. capsulatus (Bath), which was optimized for RFC10 Standard by removing restriction sites.
    • BBa_K1390004 - mmoX
      The mmoX gene encodes the α subunit. The α subunit is one of the three proteins constituting the hydroxylase component of sMMO and houses the active site of the enzyme.
    • Original Parts: BBa_K593004 - mmo X
      The original part contained the sequence of the chromoprotein DsRedExpress instead of the mmoX sequence.
    • Our improvement:
      The new part BBa_K1390004 now contains the original sequence from M. capsulatus (Bath), which was optimized for RFC10 Standard by removing restriction sites.

For further detailed information check our Results Page and the experience pages of the original part.

Used Parts

It is one of the basic principles of iGEM to build on the work of prior teams. We adapted this thought of collaborating and sharing when we built our expression constructs. In this process we used the following standard BioBricks. We found all of these parts reliable and well-documented. These parts were provided in the iGEM 2014 DNA Distribution-Kit. For further information on why we chose exactly these BioBricks check our Results Page.

  1. BBa_B0015 - double terminator
    This part is used for termination of translation and works as expected.
  2. BBa_B0032 - RBS.3 (medium) -- derivative of BBa_0030
    This part is used as a ribosome binding site. This part is known to show a relatively low strength compared to other standard RBS Bricks.
  3. BBa_R0011 - Promoter (lacI regulated, lambda pL hybrid)
    This IPTG-inducible promoter is used for controlled protein biosynthesis and chosen because of the excellent documentation.
  4. pSB1C3 - high copy plasmid (CmR)
    This standard plasmid is used for replication and cloning efforts.
  5. pSB1A3 - high copy plasmid (AmpR)
    This standard plasmid is used for coexpression with other plasmids.

Interlab Measurement Study

We participated in the first international Interlab Measurement Study, and thus helped to characterize the strength of different promoters in collaboration with teams from all over the world. In this measurement study the following BioBricks were used.

  1. BBa_K823005 - strong promoter
  2. BBa_K823012 - Anderson promoter J23115
  3. BBa_E0240- GFP generator
  4. BBa_I20260 - Measurement Kit Test of J23101
  5. BBa_K516032- mRFP protein generator TERM+ RBS+(B0032)

Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
We helped iGEM Team Virginia with the realization of their survey by translating the questions into German and conducting the survey. This way, we also made the survey available for other German teams.

iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Describe an approach that your team used to address at least one of these questions. Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team’s scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM). We encourage thoughtful and creative approaches, and those that draw on past Policy & Practice (formerly Human Practices) activities.
