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. NRPS catalyzes the final step in the pathway, converting mycosporine-glycine into shinorine.
This part includes a modified constitutive lac promoter (lacP???), an RBS and the open reading frame of NRPS. This part can be used to express the shinorine NRPS 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.
