His M Cassette Structure Secretory signal GFP Peptide RBS
His M Standard Promoter • e.g. J23100 – Strong, constitutive promoter Secretory signal GFP Peptide RBS
His M Standard RBS • e. g. B0034 – star 1 and W Secretory signal GFP Peptide RBS
His M Synthesize Secretory Signal • e. g. lipA or sacB – identified from registry • Possibly need to synthesize • Leave as an exercise for the student! Secretory signal GFP Peptide RBS
His M Some random gene • Need a signaller… • … and a handle • Allow student contributions for alternatives Secretory signal GFP Peptide RBS
His M The ‘slot’ in the cassette • Need: • 1 cleavage site • 1 target peptide • 1 purification handle Secretory signal Peptide GFP RBS
His M What goes in the player? • The polymer engineer is thinking about, e.g. extracellular matrix proto-molecules and self-assembling elements • The biologist is thinking about using this as a recruiting tool… Secretory signal Peptide GFP RBS
