Para-B0034-iaaMH-L3S1P00

This cassette contains a Pcon-araC promoter, an Elowitz RBS (BBa_B0034), the genes iaaM and iaaH which together produce IAA, and a terminator. IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) or more commonly known as auxin is a plant hormone that increases root surface area and length and stimulates plant growth. There are many biosynthesis pathways to produce IAA from tryptophan, but this circuit uses two enzymes: iaaM and iaaH. The enzyme iaaM (tryptophan-2-monooxygenase) converts tryptophan into IAM (indole-3-acetamide) and the enzyme iaaH (indoleacetamide hydrolase) converts IAM into IAA (indole-3-acetic acid).
