Description

This is half of a planned part which would contain all three PHA synthase genes required to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in cells: phaA, phaB1, phaC1. This half contains only phaA: BBa_K156012. It was designed to be ligated upstream of part [[Team:Caltech/BBa_K338004|BBa_K338004]].

Notes

When ligated upstream of [[Team:Caltech/BBa_K338004|BBa_K338004]], the completed construct was designed to express all three PHA synthase genes required to make PHB oligomers from soybean oil. The three genes would be transcribed polycistronically on a single mRNA transcript under the IPTG-inducible control of the BBa_K215000 promoter. Naturally, each gene is preceded by a standard RBS (B0034) and the transcript finishes with a strong terminator (B0015), for a total size of about 3500bp.

Note that these three genes should only cause the production of PHB oligomers in cells, not hardened plastic. A crosslinking agent is required to link the oligomers and form the final plastic product. Over-expression of the phaC1 gene could cause some crosslinking, but this has not been experimentally verified.
