Naringenin producing operon
Naringenin is the main flavone from grapefruits. In plants, it is synthesized from tyrosine and is one of the central metabolites in the flavone biosynthesis. It is able to reduce the oxidative stress and inhibit some P450 enzymes. One of these cytochrome P450 enzymes are involved in the degradation of caffeine and increase the effect of caffeine after the inhibition with naringenin. The biosynthesis of naringenin is encoded by four genes and these proteins convert L-tyrosine to the bioactive enantiomer S-naringenin.

Reaction Scheme of the naringenin producing operon. The substrate for the reaction is L-tyrosine. The substrate is metabolized to S-naringenin in serval steps. |
Usage and Biology
| This part is a composite of four genes each with the strong RBS (BBa_B0034).
Together, these genes build the naringenin biosynthesis operon without a promotor. In addition of a promotor part the device is able to build S-naringenin. These device is working in E. coli K and B strains. |

Functional Parameters
|
The iGEM Team TU Darmstadt 2014 created the naringenin biosynthesis operons under the control of the T7 promoter BBa_I712074 and the strong constitutive promoter BBa_J23100, respectively . They measured the naringenin production after a 16 h incubation time with the naringenin biosensor BBa_K1497020. The cell pellets from E. coli BL21(DE3) – pSB1C3-fdeR-gfp with and without T7-naringenin operon (BBa_K1497017) are shown in figure 3. Only in the cell pellet with BBa_K1497017 exhibited GFP fluorescence. The Darmstadt team was also able to measure the GFP fluorescence quantitatively and to calculate with the help of a calibration curve for the naringenin sensor the production yield of both operons (Figure 4). For BBa_K1497017 was 3 µM naringenin calculated and for the operon with the constitutive promoter BBa_J23100 (BBa_K1497016) was 1.9 µM naringenin calculated. |

Cell pellets with and without T7-Naringenin operon from E. coli BL21(DE3)-pSB1C3-fdeR-gfp. By using ultraviolet light the pellet containing the naringenin operon shows a GFP fluorescence. |

Fluorescence of Cells with and without T7-naringenin operon BBa_K1497017 from E. coli BL21(DE3)-pSB1C3-fdeR-gfp and J23100-naringenin operon (BBa_K1497016) from E. coli Top10-pSB1C3-fdeR-gfp, respectively. In the control E. coli BL21(DE3)-pSB1C3-fdeR-gfp without T7-naringenin operon is no fluorescence detectable only in the cells with the functional operon is the GFP fluorescence measurable. The estimated yields are 3 µM for BBa_K1497017 and 1,9 µM for BBa_K1497016. |
