PhaA-RBS-PhaB-RBS-Crt-RBS-Ter GB compatible with B3-B5

The production of butyrate by bacteria can be possible with a set of genes. The superpart 1 includes only four of the nine genes that catalyze the formation of butyric acid. Those are PhaA, PhaB, Crt and Ter genes.

Usage and Biology

First, PhaA and BktB are two β-ketothiolases that carry out the homo-fusion of two acetyl-CoA moieties into acetoacetyl-CoA. Then, the acetoacetyl-CoA is reduced to (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA (3-HB-CoA) by NADH-dependent Hbd or (R)-3-HB-CoA by NADPH-dependent PhaB. Both (R)-3-HB-CoA and (S)- 3-HB-CoA can be converted to (R)-3-HB and (S)-3-HB, respectively, by a CoA-removing enzyme, such as Pct, TesB, or Ptb/Buk. Alternatively, (R)-3-HB-CoA and (S)-3-HB-CoA can be converted to crotonyl-CoA by PhaJ and Crt, respectively. Crotonyl-CoA is then reduced to butyryl-CoA by NADH-dependent Ter, and subsequently converted to butyrate by one of the above CoA-removing enzymes.



Design Notes

The coding sequence was domesticated . We removed BsmBI ,BsaI , BtgZI, BpiI sites in order to be compatible with GoldenBraid and MoClo. The sequence is cloned in pUPD2 BBa_K3505007 and has overhangs compatible for GoldenBraid cloning. The Promoter has position B3-B5.
