Team UBC 2013

Team UBC 2013 used the 4- coumarate Ligase characterized by TU_Munich 2012 in a biosynthetic pathway that generated Cinnamaldehyde from the aromatic amino acid Phenylalanine. The data Below outlines the success of this enzyme in our biosynthetic pathway.

The genes encoding PAL (BBa_K1129003), 4-Coumarate CoA ligase(BBa_K1129042) and a Cinnamoyl Co-A reductase(BBa_1129005) were assembled into one PSB1C3 plasmid under constitutive promoters and transformed into E. coli. E.coli 10G cells were grown over night before being incubated with L-Phenylalanine for 7 hours, the sample was extracted before it was run on GC-MS.

Structures represent predictions based on library matching or comparison to standards. Controls represent plasmids missing the gene of interest. Top) GC-MS of a Cinnamic acid (10.580) control. Bottom) Conversion of Phenylalanine to Cinnamaldehyde (11.819) through the cinnamic acid intermediate(10.580) via the EncP, 4CL, and ATCCR1 gene construct under a constitutive promoter. The mass spec data shows a highly oxidized cinnamaldehyde that may have resulted from poor sample preparation
