Description
Our research has focused on two novel biosynthetic pathways found in two distinct algal species. A pathway ending in the production of two UV-protective compounds, shinorine and mycosporine-glycine, was cloned from Anabaena varibalis. DHQS catalyzes the first step in the pathway, converting sedoheptulose-7-phosphate into dehydroquinate.
This part includes a modified constitutive lac promoter (lacP'), and RBS and the open reading frame of DHQS. This part can be used to express DHQS in E. coli.
Notes
Genomic DNA was obtained from the Brett Barney Lab (University of Minnesota) for A. variabilis. From here, PCR primer extension was used to clone the ORF into a BioBrick???-compatible vector containing lacPmod, an RBS, and a multiple cloning site flanked by the BioBrick??? sites.
