zeaxanthin synthesis operon (pBad+rbs+crtZ+plac+rbs +crtEBIY )
Gene coding sequences come from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) (Accession number D90087), a type of Gram negative Enterobacteriaceae. This Composite Biobrick is created by standard assembly of Part BBa_K395702, Part BBa_K274210.
This part contains all five genes required, CrtEBIYZ, to produce zeaxanthin. It is possible to control the expression of crtZ by arabinose.
・crtZ is under Arabinose inducible promoter. ・crtZ is located at the upper of crtEBIY because the suffix of BBa_K274210(crtEBIY) is out of order and it is impossible to bring it at the lower.

This part contains crtZ, which works as the zeaxanthin biosynthesis pathway when added beta-carotene as the substrate. It is necessary to add beta-carotene or beta-carotene synthesis operon if you want to get zeaxanthin by using this part. I used this part with beta-carotene synthesis operon (BBa_K274210) as double plasmid in the project.
Gene coding sequences come from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) (Accession number D90087), a type of Gram negative Enterobacteriaceae. Please refer to Part BBa_K274200 for more information on individual components.
This Biobrick is created by putting enzyme cassette CrtEBIY (with individual rbs) of Part BBa_K274200 under constitutive promoter R0011. Enzyme cassette CrtEBIY (with individual rbs) of Part BBa_K274200 converts colourless farnesyl pyrophosphate to orange beta-carotene (via intermediates geranylgeranyl pyroiphosphate, phytoene and lycopene). Amount of beta-carotene produced can be measured by photospectrometer with absorbance at 455nm (beta-carotene extraction using acetone). Sequence and Features
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.
strong synthetic E. coli ribosome binding site with SacI site.
This is a strong synthetic E. coli ribosome binding site. It is synthesised as two complementary oligonucleotides rather than being incorporated into a biobrick plasmid. It incorporates a SacI site overlapping the XbaI site, which is preserved when it is added to any other biobrick. This allows easy detection of the RBS after it has been added upstream of a biobrick coding sequence in a plasmid vector.
Note the presence of a SacI site overlapping the XbaI site, which is preserved when this biobrick is added to any other biobrick. At the time of writing, this biobrick is added as a short piece of DNA composed of two complementary oligonucleotides rather than being incorporated into a biobrick cloning vector by itself. It can be added upstream of a biobrick coding sequence, and its presence can easily be detected in miniprep DNA on a gel by using a SacI-SpeI or similar digest.
Promoter (lacI regulated, lambda pL hybrid)
represillator of Elowitz and Leibler (2000)
Inverting regulatory region controlled by LacI (<bb_part>BBa_C0010</bb_part>, <bb_part>BBa_C0011</bb_part>, etc.) The PLlac 0-1 promoter is a hybrid regulatory region consisting of the promoter P(L) of phage lambda with the cI binding sites replaced with lacO1. The hybrid design allows for strong promotion that can nevertheless be tightly repressed by LacI, the Lac inhibitor (i.e. repressor) (<bb_part>BBa_C0010</bb_part>) ([LUTZ97]). The activity of the promoter can be regulated over a >600-fold range by IPTG in E.Coli DH5-alpha-Z1 (same paper reference).
hybrid promoter design to create strong promoter that is, at the same time, highly repressible. note that the upstream operator installed in this hybrid is slightly different than the one in the original source (Lutz and Bujard, 1997). the most upstream operator region is slightly truncated in the represillator version, so that both operators in the hybrid are the same sequence. see references for details. also, the sequence has been truncated after the transcriptional start site. LacI binds to this regulator. This part is incompatible with species containing active LacI coding regions. Lactose and IPTG disable the operation of LacI and increase transcription. This part is incompatible with environments containing lactose or lactose analogs.

crtE (geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase) from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) DSMZ 30080 (ATCC 19321). Accession: D90087. Part of the carotenoid biosynthesis parthway.
crtZ (beta-carotene hydroxylase) with native rbs
crtZ (beta-carotene hydroxylase) from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) DSMZ 30080 (ATCC 19321). Accession: D90087. Part of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Converts beta-carotene to the yellow pigment zeaxnathin.
This part was made as a single biobrick rather than separate rbs and coding sequence, hence the use of blunt combination to generate the final sequence.
crtB coding sequence encoding phytoene synthase
This is the coding sequence of crtB from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) (Accession number D90087). It encodes phytoene synthase, part of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, which converts geranylgeranyl diphosphate to phytoene.

crtI coding sequence encoding phytoene dehydrogenase
This is the coding sequence of crtI from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) (Accession number D90087). It encodes phytoene dehydrogenase, part of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, which converts Phytoene to Lycopene.
The native crtI sequence contains two internal PstI sites. Primers crtImutf1 and crtImutf2 were ordered so that the MABEL protocol (invented for this purpose) could be used to remove these sites. The mutagenic primers were as follows: * crtImutf1: gtt tac agt aag gtt gcc * crtImutf2: agt aac tct ctg ttt gtg c In both cases, the PstI site CTGCAG was converted to CTGCAA, a silent mutation.
