Enhanced luciferase substrate forming unit fiatluxB
fiatluxB is made to be used with fiatluxA. It codes for a subpart of the luciferase protein. With the subpart coding from fiatluxA, 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 fiatluxA/fiatluxB is made to be used with fiatluxC, fiatluxC 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.
