Improvements on BBa_K592023 and BBa_K592024
(Blue Fluorescent Protein mTagBFP generators)
The 2011 Uppsala Sweden iGEM team had previously submitted characterization data for parts BBa_K592023 and BBa_K592024. However, we discovered that they did not put a terminator after the mTagBFP CDS. We wondered if the observed fluorescence outputs will be different with versus without a terminator. Therefore, we decided to perform an experiment for comparison. The experimental results showed that the observed fluorescence levels were lowered without a terminator.
Given our results, we would like to caution future users in referencing the relative promoter strengths reported by Uppsala Sweden 2011, as their measured expression levels, generated by parts without a terminator, may not fully represent the true strength of the tested promoters.
