Part:BBa_K4515006
crt-opt
crt-opt
Profile
Name: crt-opt
Base Pairs: 786 bp
Origin: Clostridium acetylbutyrate ATCC824, genome
Properties: 3-Hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase
Usage and Biology
BBa_K4515006 is an enzyme named crt, which encodes 3-hydroxybutyrate CoA dehydrase in host cells, and plays a key role in the metabolic pathway of N-butanol synthesis [1-2]. It has been found that N-butanol can be synthesized naturally in Clostridium, but the tolerance of Clostridium bacteria is not good enough for large-scale production [3-5]. Recently, Lactobacillus Brevis with better N-butanol tolerance has been isolated by researchers. In order to improve the yield of N-butanol, we optimized the codon of the crt gene and inserted the optimized DNA fragment into the pLY15 plasmid under the regulation of the Pcrt promoter (Figure 1), and transformed it into L. brevis ATCC367 competent cells to form the N-butanol metabolic pathway [6].
Profile
Name: Pcrt promoter
Base Pairs: 187 bp
Origin: Clostridium acetylbutyrate ATCC824, genome
Properties: promoter of the crt gene
Usage and Biology
Pcrt promoter is a constitutive promoter amplified from the ATCC824 genome which is upstream of the gene crt and it regulates the expression of the downstream genes.
