Description
This is the coding region of the CYB5 HIS gene from Artemisia annua with added biobrick suffix and prefix in a pSB1C3 plasmid backbone and a 6 HIS TAG. This part is an element of TCD iGEM 2015 set of parts for the synthesis of the anti-malarial drug precursor dihydroartemisinic acid in E. coli. The CYB5 was used by our team to increase the efficiency of the rate limiting step of Cytochrome P450 which catalyses the conversion of amorphadiene to artemisinic alcohol to artemisinic aldehyde and finally to artemisinic acid.
Notes
his part is codon optimised for BioBrick 3A assembly and expression in E. coli cells as well as protein purification
