Description
Enzyme in the pathway required for B-Carotene Synthesis. This enzyme is named Geranylgeranyl Diphosphate Synthase. This sequence was taken from a WT strain of xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. It catalyzes both the conversion of Geranylgeranyl diphosphate to Phytoene and Lycopene to B-Carotene.
Notes
Part was PCR amplified from the genomic DNA created from the experiment and paper: High-Level Production of Beta-Carotene in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae by Successive Transformation with Carotenogenic Genes from Xanthophyllomyces Dendrorhous (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1932764/).
