This enzyme was firstly purified from Pseudomonas Siringae pv. phaseolicola PK2, a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent ethylene producing bacterium [1]. The CDS has been optimized for both E.coli and B.subtilis. We decided to include an RBS sequence too.
2-oxoglutarate oxygenase/decarboxylase is an Ethylene Forming Enzyme (EFE) that catalyze Ethylene biosynthesis from 2-oxoglutarate. This part is in the pXyl vector that has been sent to the Igem UNITN 2013 team from the LMU Munich 2012 team. This part was cloned by the iGEM Trento 2013 team for the creation of an aerobically engineered pathway for the control of fruit ripening. Further information about this part and its characterization can be found in the iGEM Trento 2013 wiki.
===Design Notes=== The coding sequence was taken from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola PK2. We firstly optimized the codons for both B. subtilis and E. coli and then synthesized the gene with an RBS sequence upstream of the start codon. We decided to include in the CDS two restriction sites (NgoMIV and AgeI) in order to allow people to use the Freiburg assembly.

pSBBs4S-Pxyl: Integrative expression vector for Bacillus subtilis</i
This part is an igem compatible version of the Bacillus expression vector pXT
This part is an expression vector for Bacillus subtilis. It integrates at the thrC locus. It has a ampicillin resistance for cloning in E.coli and chloramphenicol resistance for selection in B.subtilis. The multiple cloning site downstream of a Pxyl promoter, that is inducible with xylose. This BioBrick is part of the LMU 2012 igem project Bacillus BioBrick Box http://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Bacillus_BioBricks
We removed any forbidden restriction sites by site-directed mutagenesis PCR. The clonging site also includes a rfp for selection for cloning in E.coli.
Double terminator consisting of BBa_B0010 and BBa_B0012
2-oxoglutarate oxygenase/decarboxylase (EFE)
Derived from the TE terminator of T7 bacteriophage between Genes 1.3 and 1.4 <genbank>V01146</genbank>.
Transcription terminator for the E.coli RNA polymerase.
Suggested by Sri Kosuri and Drew Endy as a high efficiency terminator. The 5' end cutoff was placed immediately after the TAA stop codon and the 3' end cutoff was placed just prior to the RBS of Gene 1.4 (before AAGGAG). Use anywhere transcription should be stopped when the gene of interest is upstream of this terminator.
Transcriptional terminator consisting of a 64 bp stem-loop.
