aceB

aceB codes for malate synthase, native in E. coli K-12 strain BW25113. This part is useful for regulating metabolic pathway. It encodes an enzyme involved in the glyoxylate cycle in plants and bacteria. The glyoxylate enzyme allows plants and bacteria to use fatty acids as a substrate for gluconeogenesis and avoid complete oxiation into carbon dioxide. HKUST 2013 team has introduced this prokaryotic gene into mammalian cell to create an artificial futile cycle that increases uptake of fatty acids in the medium.
