These two genes(apipt4 and log1) are derived from Arabidopsis thaliana and encode enzymes necessary for synthesizing iP (isopentenyladenine) in mammalian cells. iP is a kind of cytokinins that are signaling molecules (Phytohormones) in plants and play important roles in cell growth and differentiation. When these genes are introduced to human cells, EA.hy926, the cells produce iP heterologously. AtIPT4 has the adenylate dimethylallyltransferase ([http://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?ec:2.5.1.112 [EC:2.5.1.112] ]: cytokinin synthase) activity and catalyzes the transfer of an isopentenyl group from dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) to ATP and ADP, producing cytokinin nucleotides [1]. Note that cytokinin nucleotides are the immature form. LOG1 has the phosphoribohydrolase activity and converts inactive cytokinin nucleotides to the biologically active free-base forms [2].

The expression of these genes are induced by a chemeric transcription factor which consist of eukaryotic activation domain of NF-κB p65 and prokaryotic transcription factor, TraR. The DNA binding domain of TraR binds to tra box in the presence of 3OC8AHL molecules and then CMV minimal promoter will be activated by the activation domain of NF-κB p65 [3].

The DNA sequences of these genes are optimized for expressing in human cells considering the codon usage.
