phaA (beta-ketothiolase orgin from Ralstonia eutropha)

This gene codes the enzyme“Beta- ketothiolase (acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase)”which catalyzes the conversion of two acetyl-CoA molecules into acetoacetyl-CoA. It is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of P3(HB) producing pathway like the picture below.

This gene was cloned from pGEM phbCAB. The pGEM phbCAB carries the synthetic operon genes (phaA,phaB,phaC) of Ralstonia eutropha. In the pGEM phbCAB phaA, we found a mutation in the 00th base according to the data base of NCBI.
