Enhanced luciferase subunits fiatluxC

fiatluxC is made to be used with fiatluxD. It codes for a subpart of the luciferase protein. With the subpart coding from fiatluxD, they form the luciferase protein.

Luciferase has as substrats FMNH2, O2 and Fatty aldehydes, and produces H20, Fatty Acids and FMN and emits luminescence.

The systeme fiatluxC/fiatluxD is made to be used with fiatluxA, fiatluxB and fiatluxE, gathered in the fiatluxCDABE operon.

Fiatlux genes come from ilux genes (C, D, A, B, E). They were modified to remove every Igem restriction site (EcoR1, Xba1, Spe1 and Pst1) included in genes. They were also adapted to include the biobrick format.

The ilux operon was born from a mutated natural luminescence operon present in the bacteria P.luminescens: the lux operon. These mutations were error-prone PCR induced according to Gregor et al.’s study in 2018 (Gregor et al. 2018). The aim was to create a system of genes that produced more light.
