alpha-pinene synthase

The (-)-a-pinene synthase (PsTPS-Pin) synthase is a monoterpene synthase isolated from Sitka spruce converts geranyl pyrophosphate to 83.4%(-)-alpha-pinene, 12.6%(-)-beta-pinene, 2.1% Linalool, 1.0% (-)-beta-phellandrene, 0.4% Camphene, and 0.4% myrcene. (-)-a-pinene synthase has been previously characterized by expression in C41 DE3 E. coli followed by a His-tag purification.

GC-MS analysis of Alpha-Pinene Synthase function by British Columbia iGEM 2011

Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrum of Alpha-pinene Synthase Products: We expressed the alpha-pinene synthase (BBa_K517002) in C41 DE3 E. coli and lysed the cell culture to obtain protein extract which was run through a nickel column to purify the HIS-tagged alpha-pinene synthase. The purified synthase was used in an in vitro enzymatic assay to produce alpha-pinene from geranyl diphosphate (GPP) substrate. (A) Monoterpene product spectrum of our alpha-pinene synthase. Through gas chromatography mass spectrometry, we analysed the products of the alpha-pinene synthase and found alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and small quantities of other monoterpenes. This product spectrum agrees with prior findings (Keeling et al. 2011 BMC Plant Biology). (B) Identification of alpha-pinene as a product. Cross referencing with standards and a compound library revealed that the alpha-pinene product had the characteristic base peaks and retention time of 3.6 minutes. Top panel displays peak spectrum for our sample. Bottom panel displays peak spectrum for library standard. (C) Identification of beta-pinene as a product. Cross referencing with standards and a compound library revealed that the beta-pinene product had the characteristic base peaks and retention time of 5.6 minutes. Top panel displays peak spectrum for our sample. Bottom panel displays peak spectrum for library standard.

Burden Imposed by this Part:

Burden Value: 0.6 ± 4.4%

Burden is the percent reduction in the growth rate of E. coli cells transformed with a plasmid containing this BioBrick (± values are 95% confidence limits). This BioBrick did not exhibit a burden that was significantly greater than zero (i.e., it appears to have little to no impact on growth). Therefore, users can depend on this part to remain stable for many bacterial cell divisions and in large culture volumes. Refer to any one of the BBa_K3174002 - BBa_K3174007 pages for more information on the methods, an explanation of the sources of burden, and other conclusions from a large-scale measurement project conducted by the 2019 Austin_UTexas team.

This functional parameter was added by the 2020 Austin_UTexas team.
