B0034-DFR


The biobrick B0034-DFR is a composite consisting of the biobrick DFR (BBa_K1497013) and RBS (Ellowitz 1999, BBa_B0034). B0034 is a strong ribosome binding site with a biology efficiency of 1.0.
The dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR; EC 1.1.1.219) from the plant Dianthus caryophyllus is an enzyme, catalyzing the reversible conversion of dihydroflavonols e.g. dihydro-kaempferol or dihydroquercetin into their corresponding leucoanthocyanidin. This reaction is NADPH-dependent (Liew et al. 1998) but its counter reaction can also occur with NAD+ instead of NADP+ (Queen Mary University of London 2014). DFR contains 353 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 39.4 kDa.

The iGEM Team TU Darmstadt 2014 used the B0034-DFR and verified the function of the B0034-DFR in their pelargonidin operon (K1497023).

Figure 1 Reaction of the DFR. One Dihydroflavonol reacts with NADPH to form a Leucoanthocyanidin. The reverse reaction works with NAD+ or NADP+.
