pcyA with RBS
Strong RBS (BBa_B0030). Ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PcyA) from synechocystis (BBa_I15009). Converts biliverdin IXalpha (BV) to phycocyanobilin (PCB), the immediate precursor of cyanobacterial phytochromes (Figure 1).
The integrity of our construct was checked by sequencing using VF2 primer.

pcyA is used to catalyse the formation of phycocyanobilin (PCB), a chromophore of the phytochrome family of photoreceptors, photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes required for circadian clock. It is usually used in association with ho1 that catalyses the formation of biliverdin (BV) IXα via heme.
