Study of an inducible lysis device in E. coli
(1)Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica, Università degli Studi di Pavia, Italy; (2) Centro di Ingegneria Tissutale, Università degli Studi di Pavia, Italy

In synthetic biological systems, cell lysis can be used to engineer programmed cell death and also to release proteins in extra-cellular environment, when secretion is not feasible. In this work, a promoterless lysis device called BBa_K112808, present in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, was studied. A 3OC6-HSL inducible promoter was cloned upstream of the lysis device and used to characterize it.

Validation of a standard approach for quantitative characterization of promoter strength
(1)Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica, Università degli Studi di Pavia, Italy ; (2)Centro di Ingegneria Tissutale, Università degli Studi di Pavia, Italy

The rational design of synthetic biological systems can be performed only using a set of well-characterized biological parts. In this work, the Relative Promoter Units (RPUs) standard measurement method, proposed by Kelly et al., 2008, was validated and applied to characterize eight promoters from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. The RPU approach allows the measurement of a promoter of interest using BBa_J23101 constitutive promoter as a standard reference.

A global abstract analysis of selected histone-modifying enzymes using AKS
Active Motif

A global abstract analysis (GAA) was performed on twelve histone-modifying enzymes (ASH1, CARM1, CBP, CKII, EZH2, MSK1, MST1, NSD1, PCAF, RIZ1, SIRT2 and TIP60) to demonstrate how this approach can help uncover biological relationships, scientific information, and overall publication trends from PubMed abstracts and related biological databases. This GAA study showed that published research of histone-modifying enzymes has increased significantly since 2001 and that many reported studies have fo
