Heme Oxygenase with T7 & RBS (E. coli Codon Optimised)

Synechocystis Heme Oxygenase with a RBS and codon optimised for expression in E. coli. This part differs from Part BBa_K953004 in that it also includes a T7 promoter (Part BBa_I712074). Heme oxygenase will oxidise heme into biliverdin and can then complex with bacteriophytochrome (Part BBa_K953001 or Part BBa_K953002). This complex can then absorb red light (620-750 nm) to excite the bacteriophytochrome and result in a phenotypic change from blue to green. This can be reversed by far-red light (700-800 nm) or will revert from green to blue over time. As E. coli does not produce biliverdin, heme oxygenase must be coupled with a bacteriophytochrome to activate the oxidation of heme to produce biliverdin.


The results and characterisation of heme oxygenase can be found here and you can also check out our entire project be clicking here.
