Design Notes

. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 1 coding part was ligated with the Terminator(B0015) by double digesting EcoRI-XbaI and EcoRI-SpeI, respectively.CAD1 enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cinnamyl-alcohol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, and CAD. This enzyme participates in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Chemical Reaction of CAD: Cinnamyl alcohol + NADP+ = cinnamaldehyde + NADPH. Cofactor :Zn2+ Note: Binds 2 Zn2+ ions per subunit. Involved in lignin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the final step specific for the production of lignin monomers. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of coniferaldehyde, 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde, sinapaldehyde, 4-coumaraldehyde, caffeyl aldehyde and cinnaml alcohol to their respective alcohols Functional expression of the Ocimum CAD1in E.coli PCR was used to introduce EcoRI , Xbal, Spel, Notl and Pstl at side ends of CAD1 coding region. The amplified product was single and double digested with EcoRl and Notl and the resultant fragment was cloned into the same sides ofthe puC57 vector. The engineered plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL 2l (DE3) cells which has lack of nudeases and proteinoses and ideal for expression.

Ocimum basilicum is sweet basil (Eukaryota, Viridiplantae, Streptophyta, Embryophyta, Tracheophyta, Spermatophyta, Magnoliophyta, eudicotyledons, Gunneridae, Pentapetalae, asterids, lamiids, Lamiales, Lamiaceae,Nepetoideae, Ocimeae, Ocimum)

Since the sequence obtained as mRNA of Ocimum Basilicum, we have obey the codon bias rule in order to express the enzyme in Escherichia Coli BL21(DE3) properly.
