Salicylate generator

The salicylic acid generator (BBa_J45320) catalyzes the conversion of the cellular metabolite chorismate to the wintergreen odor precursor salicylate. The biosynthetic device is composed of two transcriptional devices: a constitutive transcription source (BBa_R0011) and an odor precursor enzyme generator (BBa_J45319). 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_J45320 produces an isochorismate pyruvate-lyase and an isochorismate synthase derived from the pchBA genes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PchA, an isochorismate synthase, catalyzes the conversion of chorismate to isochorismate. The enzyme PchB, an isochorismate pyruvate-lyase, catalyzes the conversion of isochorismate to salicylate and pyruvate. Salicylic acid is the precursor to methyl salicylate (wintergreen odor).
See BBa_J45017 for details.

-Protein generator converting PoPS to the individual pchA and pchB proteins.  These two proteins biosynthesize salicylic acid. Although the coding regions overlap, there is no fusion protein; the ribosome binding site for pchA is located at the end of the coding region of pchB.  This part is almost identical to <partinfo>J45300</partinfo>, except that it uses the ribosome binding site <partinfo>BBa_B0032</partinfo> instead of <partinfo>BBa_B0030</partinfo> (which is in <partinfo>BBa_J45300</partinfo>).
