Construction of a Suppressor Logic Toolkit and its use in a Bacterial Quasi-Hash Function iGEM 2008 Finisher Team Bob Cool, Kin Lau, Xiao Zhu
Goals for 2009 Summer Project • Build tRNA suppressor logic gate tool kit with AND, NAND, OR, and NOR logic gate functions • AND gate is same basic design as in Anderson 2007, but with different parts, including 5-base frameshift suppressor instead of termination suppressor • NAND, OR, and NOR gates are new designs • Use the logic gates to construct two distinct quasi-hash functions using cell-to-cell signaling and time-delayed growth
Suppressor Logic Toolkit Basic design, no specific inputs or outputs
AND Gate Using SSL PoPS Input A Frameshift Suppressor tRNA PoPS Output AGGA OFF to ON PoPS Input B Activator Note: This design was used by Anderson et al. (2007) with a termination suppressor tRNA
NAND Gate Using SSL PoPS Input A Frameshift Suppressor tRNA PoPS Output AGGA ON to OFF PoPS Input B Repressor
OR Gate Using SSL GACC gg CGGA PoPS Input A Frameshift Suppressor 1 Activator PoPS Output OFF to ON Frameshift Suppressor 2 PoPS Input B
NOR Gate Using SSL GACC gg CGGA PoPS Input A Frameshift Suppressor ! Repressor PoPS Output OFF to ON Frameshift Suppressor 2 PoPS Input B
