Sequences BBa_K274110_sequence (Version 1)

Description

This Biobrick is created by putting enzyme cassette CrtEBI (with individual rbs) of Part BBa_K274100 under constitutive promoter R0011.

Enzyme cassette CrtEBI (with individual rbs) of Part BBa_K274110 converts colourless farnesyl pyrophosphate to red lycopene (via intermediates geranylgeranyl pyroiphosphate and phytoene).

Amount of lycopene produced can be measured by photospectrometer with absorbance at 475nm (lycopene extraction using acetone).

Notes

The colourless precursor, farnesyl pyrophosphate, is naturally produced in E.coli using Non-mevalonate Pathway (from pyruvate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate).

Our experiences showed that this Biobrick works better in E.coli strains with up-regulated level of precursors. E.coli strain MG1655 demonostrates higher level of pigment (lycopene) production than strain TOP10.

Source

Gene coding sequences come from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) (Accession number D90087), a type of Gram negative Enterobacteriaceae.
