dehydroquinate synthase (DHQS) generator

Our research has focused on two novel biosynthetic pathways found in two distinct algal species. A pathway ending in the production of two UV-protective compounds, shinorine and mycosporine-glycine, was cloned from Anabaena varibalis. DHQS catalyzes the first step in the pathway, converting sedoheptulose-7-phosphate into dehydroquinate.

This part includes a modified constitutive lac promoter (lacP'), and RBS and the open reading frame of DHQS. This part can be used to express DHQS in E. coli.
