SpPCS: Phytochelatin synthase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe

The phytochelatin synthase gene from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.


Gene: spPCS
Organism: Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Function: The phytochelatin synthase in S. pombe uses glutathione with a blocked thiol group to synthesise phytochelatins.
Aim: Over-expression of this gene, together with Gsh1*, in E.coli has been shown to increase phytochelatin production and lead to a 7.5-times-higher Cd accumulation. We want to use this gene to make our bacteria more efficient in taking up cadmium.
