Design Notes

It consists of the enzymes 4-coumarate:coA ligase (from N. tabacum; BBa_K1484115) and benzalacetone synthase (from Rheum palmatum, Chinese rhubarb; BBa_K1484103), under the control of an arabinose inducible promoter.

The two genes are transcribed into a polycistronic operon.

The first RBS is BBa_J34801, the second is a synthetic RBS calculated by the Salis Lab RBS calculator which can be found at https://salis.psu.edu/software/

The cds of the 4-coumarate:coA ligase was kindly sent by Jules Beekwilder and Esmer Jongedijk of Wageningen UR in the Netherlands, and that of benzalacetone synthase by Ikuro Abe and Takahiro Mori of The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Tokyo.
