IndC Indigoidine Synthetase device

This part encodes the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase that synthesizes the blue pigment indigoidine. The IndC gene was amplified from P. luminescens laumondii TT01 (DSM15139) and cloned into pSB1C3.

a) Definition of different domain border combinations for T-domain exchanges The figure shows a sequence alignment of the indC and bpsA amino acid sequences. The alignment was created using clustalO (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/) with standard parameters. The lines marked A, B and C reflect the borders we used between the A- and the T-domain, whereas those marked, 1, 2, 3 and 4 reflect the borders between the T- and the TE-domain. In total we tried all twelve combinations of a domain border {A, B, C} and a domain border {1, 2, 3, 4}, replacing the sequence inbetween with the respective part of bpsA.

b) E. coli TOP10 co-transformed with modified versions of indC and the PPTase sfp The co-tranformation of the modified indC-(bpsA-T) plasmids described above with a second plasmid coding for the PPTase Sfp shows that only three domain border combinations can be used for exchanging the indC T-domain with the T-domain of bpsA. These are the combinations A1, A2 and C1. We applied combination A2 for further T-domain exchanges.
