SaACS2
SaACS2 is an acetyl-CoA synthase, responsible for synthesizing acetyl-CoA from a host of different substrates. This year, we will express SaACS2 in yeast cells to turn acetate into acetyl-CoA, providing the first step for our metabolic pathway which converts acetate and ethanol into ethyl-acetate. The part will be used to construct yeast expression plasmids through golden gate assembly into pTEF-SaACS2-tADH1BBa_K4011016 and pTEF1-SaACS2-tADH1-pRPL8B-AeAT9-tSSA1 BBa_K4011018.
Usage and Biology
SaACS2 is an acetyl-CoA synthase from Salmonella enterica. Its natural function is to convert acetate into acetyl-CoA under anaerobic conditions. Its enzymatic rate is around 50 times that of ACS1 found in S. cerevisiae.
Source
SaACS2 is from Salmonella enterica.
