Design Notes

The design of the UDP-glycosyltransferase 74B1 (UGT74B1) gene is based on the coding sequence (CDS) from Arabidopsis thaliana and has been codon-optimized for efficient expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288C). UGT74B1 plays a crucial role in glucosinolate biosynthesis, specifically participating in the glycosylation step. It is specific for the thiohydroximate functional group and does not glycosylate the carboxylate group or a hydroxyl group.[1]To ensure high-level expression and mRNA stability, the design employs the PGK1 promoter(BBa_K2637015) and ADH1 terminator(BBa_K2637012). The optimized gene will be cloned into a vector, introduced into yeast S288C through homologous recombination, and validated using a knockout strain. This design aims to enhance the production efficiency of glucosinolates in yeast and further optimize yeast as a platform for metabolic engineering.
