RIB1-ERBV-1-RIB7-PTV-ADE4
This is a riboflavin synthase RIB1, followed by a PTV 2A self-cleaving peptide, another riboflavin synthase RIB7, an ERBV-1 2A self-cleaving peptide, and an IMP synthase ADE4.

Usage and Biology
ADE4 (BBa_K4883000) catalyzes the first step of the purine nucleotide biosynthetic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, forming IMP. IMP is the precursor of GTP, and GTP is the precursor of vitamin B2. RIB1 (BBa_K4883001) and RIB7 (BBa_K4883002) catalyze the first and second steps of the riboflavin (vitamin B2) biosynthesis pathway in S. cerevisiae. Co-overexpression of ADE4, RIB1, and RIB7 could lead to overproduction of vitamin B2 in S. cerevisiae.
For the three genes to be expressed separately and normally, the genes are divided by two 2A self-cleaving peptides, ERBV-1 and PTV, which cleave a longer peptide into two shorter peptides. ERBV-1 and PTV have been proven to have the highest cleavage efficiency in S. cerevisiae (Souza-Moreira et al., 2018).
