Description
The Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP) is a gene reporter used to signalize the expression of Lux D, a transferase which is part of an operon (operon Lux C, E and D) that is part of the biosynthesis of alkanes.
Notes
The sequence of an aldehyde decarbonylase was synthesized after the gene Lux D with a RBS and a non-specific region between then.
Source
This sequence was taken from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus used in the work "Synthesis of customized petroleum-replica fuel molecules by targeted modification of free fatty acid pools in Escherichia coli" of Dr. Howard and collaborators for the production of alkanes.
