CTB1 Gene from Cercospora beticola

This is the full exon only (cDNA) coding sequence for the CTB1 enzyme in the fungus cercospora beticola. The enzyme is the first in a multi step pathway for the production of cercosporin, a reactive oxygen species producing toxin in the presence of sun light. FSU's iGEM team is looking to synthesize CTB1 in yeast as a proof of concept for cercosporin biosynthesis in a non-native and scalable organism, with the goal of producing cercosporin to combat algal blooms. The coding sequence has been codon optimized for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and modified to remove some illegal iGEM assembly cut sites via silent mutations. An HA tag is embedded on the N-terminus for expression verification.
