Contribution

The CHS3 is a transmembrane protein originating from eukaryotes, which is challenging to integrate into prokaryotes, although the Northwestern team used the cDNA. Furthermore, the enzyme is post-translationally glycosylated, which makes it nearly impossible to express a functional enzyme [1]. The sequence of the CHS3 further contains forbidden PstI and XbaI sites (typical standard RFC[10]) inside of the gene (XbaI at 1117 and 1674 and PstI at 2318), so that it is impractical for usage as BioBrick part.
To provide a functional Chitin synthase that is working in E.coli, the 2017 TU Darmstadt Team brought up Part BBa_K2380000 encoding bacterial chitin synthase NodC to the registry.
