Valencene synthase converts FPP into Valencene.
 
We chose the ValS from Callitropis nootkatensis, because other valencene synthases perform relatively inefficient in microorganisms.  For example, they show a relatively poor product specificity, are less efficient in producing sesquiterpene than other synthases and have a significant amount of side products like germacrene A.
 
In contrast to this, ValS from C. nootkatensis has a good product specificity and is more robust in terms of pH and temperature changes. It has also a better yield than citrus valencene synthases in yeast.
 
 
This part is designed for cytosolic expression, for peroxisomal import please choose part: BBa K2271124

You can use a valencene synthase(ValS) as part of the nootkatone pathway. ValS converts FPP into Valencene. You can chose the ValS from Callitropis nootkatensis, because other valencene synthases perform relatively inefficient in microorganisms[1]. For example, they show a relatively poor product specificity, are less efficient in producing sesquiterpene than other synthases and have a significant amount of side products like germacrene A. In contrast to this, ValS from C. nootkatensis has a good product specificity and is more robust in terms of pH and temperature changes. It has also a better yield than citrus valencene synthases in yeast.

Usage and Biology

You can use a valencene synthase(ValS) as part of the nootkatone pathway. ValS converts FPP into Valencene. You can chose the ValS from Callitropis nootkatensis, because other valencene synthases perform relatively inefficient in microorganisms[1]. For example, they show a relatively poor product specificity, are less efficient in producing sesquiterpene than other synthases and have a significant amount of side products like germacrene A. In contrast to this, ValS from C. nootkatensis has a good product specificity and is more robust in terms of pH and temperature changes. It has also a better yield than citrus valencene synthases in yeast.

This part is designed for cytosolic expression, for peroxisomal import please choose part: BBa K2271124


Characterization

We verified the expression of ValS via western blot. Therefore, we have a 3xFLAG-6xHis-Tag as a part in our plasmids, we can use for the antibodies. The estimated atomic mass of ValS is 69 kDa.

Protein abundance in WT and transformed cells from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Protein abundance was detected using 6x His Tag Antibody. WT = wild type, ValS = Valencene Synthase, PTS1 = Peroxisom Targeting Signal 1
