Assembly

Plasmid construction

Through homologous recombination, we integrated the santalene and santalol synthases gene into the broad host range replicative vector pPMQAK1 along with the theophylline inducible promoter. The following figure shows the recombinant plasmid.

Parts

Theophylline inducible promoter

We decided to use an induction system composed of Ptrc promoter and theophylline dependent riboswitch theo E* to control the expression of the α-pinene synthase. The Ptrc promoter is a hybrid of lac and trp, making it stronger than the lac promoter. Transcription is regulated by IPTG and translation initiates only when there is theophylline present. This double regulation strictly regulates gene expression.

Santalene synthase

Santalene synthase converts farnesyl pyrophosphate to limonene and is isolated from Santalum Album.

Santalol synthase

Santalol sythase converts santalene to santalol. It is a hemoprotein of the Cytochrome P450 family derived form Santalum album.

Results

After transforming pPMQAK1-Ptrc-theo-SaSS-CYP into E. coli DH5α we performed colony PCR on the monocultures and selected the successfully transformed ones for amplification and extraction to later transform it into Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The figure below shows the colony PCR results.

To further confirm the constructed plasmids are correct, we sent them to be sequenced. Below are the sequencing results.

After transforming pPMQAK1-Ptrc-theo-SaSS-CYP into Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, we performed colony PCR. Below are the results.

To test whether santalol is produced, we plan on performing gas chromatography with the help of our advisors.
