VioA and VioB enzymes fused with zinc fingers under pBAD promoter
The part contains two of the enzymes of the violacein biosynthetic pathway, fused to zinc finger proteins. VioA enzyme is linked to the Blues zinc finger (Part:BBa_K323085) and VioB enzyme to the Zif268 zinc finger (Part:BBa_K323134). When translated to protein, two functional chimeric proteins which bind to a specific DNA sequence are produced. We designed a DNA program (Part:BBa_K323066) with these sequences to bind the chimeric enzymes on a fixed distance.
In combination with Part:BBa_K323132, we have bound all of the enzymes, necessary for synthesis of violacein, on the DNA program. This enabled a faster and increased synthesis of the desired product, as the enzymes were fixed close together and the intermediates were immediately available to the next enzyme.
We have designed another DNA program (Part:BBa_K323046) with no binding site for the HivC_VioD chimeric protein. By this we showed that the program determines the final product - in our case, larger amounts of deoxyviolacein were formed.
