Uracil glucosyltransferase (UGTCs2)

It is believed that Uracil glucosyltransferase from Crocus Sativus (UGTCs2) cleaves products catalyzed by the enzyme zeaxanthin 7,8-cleavage dioxygenase (ZCD) and that it is neccesary for the production of crocin glucosides, safranal and picrocrocin. UGTCs2 was obtained from WashU 2012 in a synthetic construct togeher with ZCD. The genes were isolated by the use of primers with overhangs. The overhangs contained a RBS (B0034) but overhangs without RBS were also used for isolation for future uses. We assembled with promoters but without success but when used mutagenesis we managed to attach several promoters of the J23-series. They were sequenced and tested in Western Blot, the sequences were correct but unfortunately we could not see a protein expression. This would show that we failed to make the Western Blot.
