- | + | <b>BBa_K770000 Composite part - ProC-YF1 – in pSB1C3 backbone plasmid</b><br> | |
- | + | This biobrick consists of two parts: | |
- | < | + | <ul> |
- | + | <li>ProC (10 bp): A constitutively active promoter active in cyanobacteria. | |
- | + | <li>YF1 (1131 bp): A chimeric protein part of a synthetic light-inducible regulatory system. YF1 is a kinase which autophosphorylates and phosphorylates its substrate, FixJ. The activity of YF1 is inhibited by light. | |

+ | Partial assembly of the planned complete construct of the 2012 iGEM Team Copenhagen: CyanoDelux. The part has been assembled using USER-cloning. This leaves small scars comprised of USER overhangs. These should not interfere with the function of the part. | ||

- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
+ | The LuxCDABE gene cassette (5798 bp) comprises 5 genes necessary for emission of light with a wavelength of approximately 490 nm. | ||
+ | <ul> | ||
+ | <li>LuxA and LuxB encode two polypeptides of 40 kDa and 37 kDa, respectively, which together make up the complete bacterial luciferase heterodimer. Luciferase catalyzes a light-producing reaction in which the substrates fatty aldehydes, O<sub>2</sub> and FMNH<sub>2</sub>, are degraded into fatty acid, H<sub>2</sub>O and FMN. | ||
+ | <li>Together the Lux C, D and E encode a Fatty Acid Reductase Enzyme complex which converts acyl-doners to fatty acid, then fatty aldehydes. | ||
+ | <li>Lux D: encodes a transferase which transfers acyl-donors from the fatty acid synthetic pathway, transforming acyl-doners to a fatty acid. | ||
+ | <li>Lux E: encodes a synthetase which, using ATP, converts the fatty acid to an acyl-AMP intermediate, | ||
+ | <li>Lux C: encodes reductase, which consumes NADPH to release fatty aldehyde and NAD<sup>+</sup>. | ||
+ | </ul> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
+ | <b>Design Notes:</b><br> | ||
+ | The part was assembled with USER-cloning (REFERENCE), incorporating a complete LuxCDABE cassette into a pSB1C3 plasmid. The procedure has left small scars in the form of USER overhangs, which should not affect activity or regulation of the gene cassette. The LuxCDABE gene contained an illegal Xbal-site which was subsequently removed using PCR site-directed mutagenesis. | ||
