crtEBIY
. This biobrick was created through standard biobrick assembly of K118014(RBS+crtE), K118006(RBS+crtB), K118005(RBS+crtI) and K118013(crtY). These genes are a part of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway and together, this biobrick converts converts colourless farnesyl pyrophosphate to orange beta-carotene Sequence and Features

As many researches indicate, the major problem of polycistronic vectors, which contain two or more target genes under one promoter, is the much lower expression of the downstream genes compared with that of the first gene next to the promoter[1]. Instead of assembling CDSs sequentially, we construct a ribozyme-assisted polycistronic co-expression system (pRAP) by inserting ribozyme sequences between crtEBIY. In the pRAP system, the RNA sequences of hammerhead ribozyme conduct self-cleaving, and the polycistronic mRNA transcript is thus co-transcriptionally converted into individual mono-cistrons in vivo. Self-interaction of the polycistron can be nullified and each cistron can initiate translation with comparable efficiency. Besides, we can precisely manage this co-expression system by adjusting the RBS strength of individual mono-cistrons.
