Description
This biobrick codifies for the protein lipA from Burkholderia cepacia (Pseudomonas cepacia) which catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides (Triacylglycerol + H2O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate). In the presence of certain alcohols, it catalyzes the transesterification of TGAs to produce acyl esters and glycerol.
It has only one PTM (Post-Translational Modification) which consists in a sulfide bond between 234 and 314 aa. Calcium serves as a cofactor for this enzyme (1 ion per subunit).
Notes
The sequence of a transcriptional terminator (biobrick BBa_B1006) was set at the end of the coding sequence. Also, to avoid RBS-CDS problems, the CDS prefix and suffix mentioned in this link (http://partsregistry.org/Assembly:RBS-CDS_issues#Standard_Assembly_and_the_RBS) were used.
Source
The amino sequence of this part was taken from Uniprot (lipA accesion P22088; http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P22088) and then codon optimization (avoiding restriction sites for the standard assembly method) was made using the free software GeneDesigner.
