mycosporine-glycine biosynthetic pathway
Our research has focused on two novel biosynthetic pathways found in two distinct algal species. A pathway ending in the production of two UV-protective compounds, shinorine and mycosporine-glycine, was cloned from Anabaena varibalis. DHQS catalyzes the first step in the pathway, converting sedoheptulose-7-phosphate into dehydroquinate. Dehydroquinate-O-methyltransferase (O-MT) then generates 4-deoxygadusol, which is converted to mycosprine-glycine by ATP-grasp (ATPG).
This composite part contains protein generators for DHQS, O-MT and ATPG. E. coli transformed with this composite part are able to synthesize mycosporine-glycine, as detected by HPLC analysis of the media. 4-deoxygadusol is also detected in HPLC analysis.
