3-methylbutanal generator

The 3-methylbutanal generator (BBa_J45400) catalyzes the conversion of the cellular metabolite leucine to the banana odor precursor 3-methylbutanal. The biosynthetic device is composed of two transcriptional devices: a constitutive transcription source (BBa_R0011) and an odor precursor enzyme generator (BBa_J45398). 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_J45008 encodes a branched-chain amino acid transaminase derived from the BAT2 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. BAT2 catalyzes the first step in isoamyl alcohol biosynthesis: conversion of leucine to α-ketoisocaproate via enzymatic reaction 2.6.1.42. BBa_J45009 encodes a branched-chain amino acid transaminase derived from the THI3 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. THI3 catalyzes the second step in isoamyl alcohol biosynthesis: conversion of α-ketoisocaproate to 3-methylbutanal via enzymatic reaction 4.1.1.1. An alcohol dehydrogenase from the cellular chassis reduces 3-methylbutanal to isoamyl alcohol in an NADH-dependent reaction.
