Team:UofC Calgary/Composite Part

iGEM Calgary 2016

Composite Parts

The backbone of the U of Calgary project are the composite parts. The composite parts are an amalgamation of different registry parts which act together to provide a novel function. The composite parts designed for this project are based around the Bowman-Birk Protease inhibitor (BBI) and the ComK part that was submitted to the registry by the 2014 Calgary team.

A variety of different parts were used across all of the BBI composite constructs. We used Pveg, a constitutive promoter, and double terminators to book end the rest of the internal genes. To improve secretion of BBI from B. subtilis, we added a secretion tag as well as a transdermal (TD1) tag. The secretion tag is a localization tag for the Sec pathway in B. subtilis

Fully Trained!

Our entire team received a full BioSafety education from the University of Calgary! This entailed going to classes to prepare for a final quiz that tested our ability to be safe in the lab. Several of our members also had radiation training and clearance to ensure that work done with radiation was safe!
