Design Notes
This part(BBa_K887004) contains a Plac promoter, three strong expressing RBS(B0034), three zinc fingers(zif268, PBSII, HIVC)encoded in front of three enzymes(alsS, ilvC, ilvD),37℃RBS and tetR gene and a strong terminator(J61048). The 37℃RBS and tetR gene would control the expression of the fourth enzyme(kivD).(TetR protein as a inhibitor of Ptet promoter.)
We fused zinc fingers with enzymes of isobutnol biosynthesis pathway, and make the DNA program as a scaffold for the fusion proteins to hold on. Therefore, the enzymes could bind the DNA program in order. The intermediates would be converted into the following compounds step by step. It helps enhance the efficiency of isobutanol production.
