New BioBrick vector parts. The Registry part number, function, and graphical notation of each constructed BioBrick vector part are listed. The part collection includes (1) BBa_G00000: BioBrick cloning site prefix including the EcoRI (E) and XbaI (X) restriction enzyme sites, (2) BBa_G00001: BioBrick cloning site suffix including the SpeI (S) and PstI (P) restriction enzyme sites which, together with the BioBrick prefix, forms a BioBrick cloning site for compatibility with all BioBrick standard biological parts, (3) BBa_P1016: positive selection marker ccdB to improve yield of insert-containing clones during part assemblies, (4) BBa_I50022: pUC19-derived high copy replication origin within the BioBrick cloning site that allows for easy plasmid DNA purification of the base vector and any derived vectors, (5) BBa_B0042: a short DNA sequence that has translational stop codons in all six reading frames to prevent translation into or out of the BioBrick cloning site, (6) BBa_B0053-B0055 and BBa_B0062: forward and reverse transcriptional terminators flanking the BioBrick cloning site to prevent transcription into or out of the BioBrick cloning site, (7) BBa_G00100 and BBa_G00102: sequence verification primer annealing sites for primers VF2 and VR, (8) BBa_B0045: NheI (N) restriction site for insertion of desired replication origin and resistance marker to construct vector of interest, (9) BBa_P1006: ampicillin resistance selection marker to facilitate propagation of the base vector, (10) BBa_P1002-P1005: four antibiotic resistance markers, and (11) BBa_I50042 and BBa_I50032: pSC101 and p15A replication origins. Each part is used either as a component of the BioBrick base vector BBa_I51020 (1–9) or to construct new BioBrick vectors (10–11).
