Part:BBa_K539119
crtY (lycopene cyclase)
This is the coding sequence of crtY from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) (Accession number D90087). It encodes lycopene B-cyclase, part of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, which converts lycopene to B-carotene (Misawa, N., Nakagawa, N., Kobayashi, K., Yamano, S., Nakamura, K., and Harashima, K. 1990. Elucidation of the Erwinia uredovora carotenoid biosynthetic pathway by functional analysis of gene products expressed in Escherichia coli. Journal of Bacteriology 172, 6704-612).
We found a point mutation of [BBa_K118008] [1](iGEM08_Edinburgh) at SpeI site that mutate into ACCTAGT. However, We corrected it successfully(ACCTAGT->ACTAGT), and submited to igem.
The following is the gel electrophoresis result of crtY Part:BBa_K118008. The sample included are uncut plasmid, cut by EcoR1, Xba1, Spe1 and Pst1 respctivly.
We can see that the location of plasmid cut by Spe1 is the same as uncut plasmid. We assumed that Spe1 site has mutated.
After the Point Mutation, we correct the Spe1 site and the gel electrophoresis result is shown below.
