B0034-CHS - Chalcone Synthase from Gerbera with strong RBS

The Chalcone Synthase catalyzes the reaction from 4-Coumaroyl-CoA to naringenin chalcone. It is one of the essential enzymes in the anthocyanin pathway. The CHS needs a high amount of Malonyl-CoA to constantly perform the reaction. So it has to be noted, that if used in E. coli the source of Malonyl-CoA is limited.

The iGEM Team TU Darmstadt used the CHS and verified the function in their naringenin operon (BBa_K1497007).


Figure 1 Reaction of the CHS. 4-coumaroyl-CoA reacts together with 3 Malonyl-CoA to one naringenin chalcone.
