iGEM19_SCU-China:

This part is pGAL1-HisG-MF, which is a CDS of HisG-MF with a pGAL1 promoter upstream and a CYC1 terminator downstream. HisG-MF is half of Cns3 containing the HisG domain, which is designed from the reference and has been validated by 2019 SCU-China for expression and function in other fungus.

Cns3 is an enzyme originated from Cordyceps militaris, it catalyzes the biosynthesis of Pentostatin (2’-deoxycoformycin, PTN), an ada chemotherapeutic drug used for the treatment of several forms of leukemia.It has been proved that PTN can protect the stability of cordycepin from deamination by inhibiting adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in the natural pathway of COR in C.militaris.Therefore, in our designs, we make use of Cns3, producing PTN together with COR in order to guarantee a high yield of COR.Previous studies have also proved that the NK domain of Cns3, one of it's two function domains, is responsible for PTN biosynthesis, which is why we only use part of Cns3.

As is mentioned above, this part is an expression cassette of HisG-MF that is half of Cns3 containing the HisG domain. 2019 SCU-China validated its both in expression and function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.To verify it’s function, we did RT-qPCR to detect the existence of Cns3-MF mRNA. (Figure. 1) As for function validation, we performed HPLC to detect PTN, the catalysate of Cns3-MF(Figure. 2). And we successfully demonstrated the cns3-mf transcription and function finally.
