Usage and Biology

Biology

The phycocyanobilin ferredoxin oxidoreductase coding sequence (encoding the enzyme for the reduction of biliverdin IX alpha into phycocyanobilins) is coupled with an RBS (BBa_B0034), resulting in the formation of a translational unit. The RBS (with a Shine Dalgarno like sequence) helps in the binding of the ribosome initiating the process of translation.

Usage

This part is used to translate the PcyA gene construct into the functional enzyme under a suitable promoter. In association with the translational unit coding for ho1 (BBa_K3165030), this sequence can act as a genetic circuit for the biosynthesis of phycocyanobilins (PCBs).
