Description
Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate, P(3HB), a kind of PHAs is synthesized by three enzymes.The A gene encodes for the 393 amino acids protein, 3-ketothiolase (PhaA). The B1 gene encodes for the 246 amino acids protein, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (PhaB). The C1 gene encodes for the 589 amino acids protein, PHA Synthase (PhaC)
These three enzymes can use Co-A as a substrate to produce P(3HB). IGEM team Tokyo Tech2012 designed and synthesized phaC1-A-B1gene sequence BBa_K934001, and expressed via constitutive promoter.
In order to make the production process more controllable, we added arabinose inducible promoter(BBa_I0500)to phaC1-A-B1 gene sequence (BBa_K934001), constructing the arabinose inducible parts(BBa_K1891014). Finally we linked the newly synthesized part to the standard vector pSB1C3. The new plasmids can be used directly for arabinose induced expression in E.coli.
Notes
We used Spe I and Pst I to do dual digestion in PSB1C3 which contained pBAD gene and recycled gene fragments in 3280bp, used Xbal I and Pst I to do dual digestion in PSB1C3 and recycled gene fragments in 4208bp.We use T4 ligase to link phaC1-A-B1 to the downstream of pBAD promoter, then transform the vectors to Trans 5α for plasmid extraction.
Source
We get parts BBa_K934001 and BBa_I0500 from the kits sent by iGEM HQ.
