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. Dehydroquinate O-methyltransferase (O-MT) catalyzes the second step in this pathway, converting dehydroquinate to 4-deoxygadusol.
This part includes a modified constitutive lac promoter (lacPmod), and RBS and the open reading frame of O-MT. This part can be used to express O-MT 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.
