Salicylate generator
The salicylic acid generator (BBa_J45320) catalyzes the conversion of the cellular metabolite chorismate to the wintergreen odor precursor salicylate. The biosynthetic device is composed of two transcriptional devices: a constitutive transcription source (BBa_R0011) and an odor precursor enzyme generator (BBa_J45319). Odor precursor enzyme generators take as input a transcriptional signal and produce as output enzymes that catalyze production of an odor precursor from a cellular metabolite.
Usage and Biology
- BBa_J45320 produces an isochorismate pyruvate-lyase and an isochorismate synthase derived from the pchBA genes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PchA, an isochorismate synthase, catalyzes the conversion of chorismate to isochorismate. The enzyme PchB, an isochorismate pyruvate-lyase, catalyzes the conversion of isochorismate to salicylate and pyruvate. Salicylic acid is the precursor to methyl salicylate (wintergreen odor).
- See BBa_J45017 for details.
