Part:BBa_K2992031

RBS region for the ctfA gene from C. acetobutylicum

RBS for the ctfA gene from C. acetobutylicum

Usage and Biology

This parts entry represents the RBS for the ctfA gene in C. acetobutylicum. The CtfAB complex is central to the production of biotechnologically relevant solvents in C. acetobutylicum such as acetone and butanol. The complex catalyses the conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA to acetoacetate concomitant with the transfer of CoA to acetate and butyrate. The CtfAB complex is a core component of our acetone production pathway to validate the use of volatile reporters to predict botulinum toxin production following food manufacturing processes. We have tested both C. acetobutylicum and C. botulinum-derived ctfAB.

Characterisation

This part is the ribosome binding site for the translation of the ctfA gene. This was integrated in to the larger composite part: BBa_K2992035. See results pagefor more Sequence and Features
