Acyl-ACP Reductase to Aldehyde Decarbonylase (AAR-ADC) Fusion

This part encodes a direct gene fusion product of the two enzymes, Acyl-ACP Reductase(AAR) and Aldehyde Decarbonylase (ADC), in a linear configuration with a glycine-serine linker for co-localization.

Usage and Biology

2011 UW iGEM Team has constructed this fusion product to optimize the alkane production developed by the team by bringing ADC and AAR close together. Contrary to what was expected, our gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) data demonstrated that direct fusion has a negative effect on alkane production relative to previous work with independent expression constructs. The functional assembly was put under a high-copy constitutive promoter and can be found under the BBa_K590048 part page.

Direct fusion of two proteins using a glycine-serine linker.

GC-MS data shows that this system wasn't successful at optimizing the alkane production. For more info, refer to 2011 UW iGEM Team wiki
