Description
This part codes for an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of acetoacetyl-coenzyme A from two molecules of acetyl-coenzyme A. The enzyme can also act as a thiolase, catalyzing the reverse reaction and generating two-carbon units from the four-carbon product of fatty acid oxidation.
Notes
This part was codon-optimized for expression in E. coli. The following restriction enzyme sites were also removed: EcoRI, NotI, XbaI, SpeI, PstI, NheI, AvrII, ApoI, MfeI, NsiI, SbfI.
Source
This coding region is native to Ralstonia eutropha H16. The original sequence was obtained from GenBank (VERSION NC_008313.1, GI:113866031).
