Roles

Composite

Description

This part contains 3 genes, each of which codes for an enzyme in the carotenoid synthesis pathway: CrtB (Phytoene synthase), CrtI (Phytoene desaturase) and CrtY (Lycopene cyclase).

The conversion process is GGPP->Phytoene->Lycopene->B-carotene

Composite order: 1) Constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 2) CrtY 3) RBS BBa_B0034 4) CrtI 5) RBS BBa_J23100 6) CrtB 7) Terminator B0015

Notes

Contact biomagik@mit.edu for specific questions.

Source

Each gene is taken from a bacterial strain in which the carotenoid synthesis pathway is present.

CrtB-R capsulatus

CrtI-S solfataricus
