Description
Synthesized tzs gene (from Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58) and LOG (Oryza satifa), both codon optimized for E. coli as a biobrick. The tzs gene encodes for the enzyme which converts 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl diphosphate into zeatin riboside 5'-phosphate. The LOG gene produces N6-dimethylallyladenine by removing the phosphoribosyl group from N6-(delta2-isopentenyl)-adenosine 5'-monophosphate. Hydroxylation of the N6-dimethylallyladenine produces biologically-active trans-zeatin. Under control of the lac promoter in DH5alpha E. coli cells, expression of the trans-zeatin biosynthesis pathway is induced by lactose or its analog IPTG.
Notes
The piece was synthesized with the two genes back-to-back (i.e. as an operon) and expression can be induced using lactose or IPTG.
