Part:BBa_K4883006
Ptef1-RIB1-ERBV-1-RIB7-Tcyc1
This is a complete expression cassette, constructed by inserting RIB1-ERBV-1-RIB7 (BBa_K4883005) between a strong promoter Ptef1 and a CYC1 terminator.

Usage and Biology
To mitigate vitamin B2 deficiency, we planned to make vitamin B2-enriched bread with engineered yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Co-overexpression of RIB1 (BBa_K4883001) and RIB7 (BBa_K4883002) should lead to the overproduction of vitamin B2 in S. cerevisiae. Ptef1 (BBa_K2407300) has been proven one of the strongest promoters of S. cerevisiae, so we used it for overexpression (Partow et al., 2010). A CYC1 terminator was also included to form the complete expression cassette.
Characterization
2023 Hangzhou-SDG Team characterized this part with vitamin B2 production
Vitamin B2 Production Tests in Liquid YPD Media
The WT S. cerevisiae S288C and the strain co-overexpressing RIB1 and RIB7 were inoculated into YPD media, and cultured at 30 ℃, 180 rpm. The riboflavin concentrations in the supernatants were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Results showed that co-overexpression of RIB1 and RIB7 increased vitamin B2 production by 96% after 72h in YPD.
Vitamin B2 Production Tests in Steamed Buns
To determine whether our engineered yeasts can help to make vitamin-B2-enriched food, we made steamed buns using our yeasts in the lab. The riboflavin concentrations in the buns were measured using HPLC.
Results showed that co-overexpression of RIB1 and RIB7 increased vitamin B2 production by 25% in steamed buns (p < 0.05).
