Description
Uracil glucosyltransferase from Crocus Sativus (UGTCs2) is a glucosyltransferase which has been shown to be highly expressed in style branch tissues of Crocus sativus. It has been implicated as the glucosyltransferase involved in the modification of the cleavage products of ZCD. It is also thought to be necessary for the production of crocin glucosides, safarnal and picrocrocin, which are the three major components of saffron.
Notes
This modified version of UGTCs2 has been codon optimized for the species Synechocystis 6803. It is simply the coding region of the gene without any promoter or terminator, to allow for the most flexible application of this part.
Source
This gene was originally identified in Crocus sativus, and has been synthesized here to optimize production in Synechocystis 6803
