2-isopropylmalate synthase is the first enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of leucine. This is a very important enzyme in the pathway as it serves as a regulatory point in the biosynthesis pathway. The protein has a leucine binding domain which allows for down regulation of the pathway through negative-feedback inhibition of the enzyme. Expression of this enzyme especially on a strong promoter could be used to up-regulate leucine synthesis and produce a leucine overproducing strain.

Yarrowia lipolytica LEU4 gene

2-isopropylmalate (LEU4) coding sequence from Yarrowia lipolytica .

Usage and Biology

2-isopropylmalate synthase is the first enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of leucine. This is a very important enzyme in the pathway as it serves as a regulatory point in the biosynthesis pathway (1). The protein has a leucine binding domain which allows for downregulation of the pathway through negative-feedback inhibition of the enzyme. Expression of this enzyme especially on a strong promoter could be used to up-regulate leucine synthesis and produce a leucine overproducing strain.

See BBa_K3629023 for a functional high expression construct using this coding sequence.
