CHS - Chalcone Synthase from Gerbera
|
The Chalcone Synthase catalyzes the reaction from 4-Coumaroyl-CoA to naringenin chalcone. It is one of the essential enzymes in the anthocyanin pathway. The CHS needs a high amount of Malonyl-CoA to constantly perform the reaction. So it has to be noted, that if used in E. coli the source of Malonyl-CoA is limited.
==Added by iGEM20_BIT-China == Chalcone synthase (CHS) is a condensing enzyme, unique to plants, that builds a 15-carbon (C15) intermediate chalcone from which all flavonoids are derived. As the first enzyme committed to flavonoid production, it has often been referred to as the “key” enzyme of flavonoid biosynthesis. However, in some cases, the F’3H is of the same importance or even more. Chalcone synthase catalyzes the formation of naringenin chalcone from one molecule of 4-coumaroyl CoA and three molecules of malonyl CoA . Chalcone synthase functions as a homodimer, each polypeptide being approximately 41 kDa in size. The primary sequence of the CHS polypeptide is highly conserved between different plant species. In nature, Three photoreceptors are involved in regulating flavonoid accumulation and CHS activity: a UV-B light receptor, a blue light receptor, and phytochrome. This enzyme has got various most suitable PH when using different substrate. Generally, CHS shows high specificity for 4-coumaroyl CoA as a starter. As for the 4-coumaroyl-CoA ,the most suitable pH is 7.0. Besides, its different classifications react differently to the accumulation of flavonoids.[1] '''References:''' [1]Martin, C. R. (1993).

Functional Parameters
The iGEM Team TU Darmstadt used the CHS and verified the function in their naringenin operon (BBa_K1497007).
