IAA biosynthetic genes under control of the Pveg2 promoter

The IAM pathway is a two step pathway which generates indole-3-acetic acid (auxin) from the precursor tryptophan. IAA tryptophan monooxygenase (IaaM) catalyzes the oxidative carboxylation of L-tryptophan to indole-3-acetamide which is hydrolyzed to indole-3-acetic acid and ammonia by indoleacetamide hydrolase (IaaH). There are several different pathways that produce indole-3-acetic acid. We are expressing genes of the IAM pathway that originate from P.savastanoi in E. coli. IaaM and IaaH have been expressed in E. coli previously, and shown to secrete auxin into cell supernatant, however without sufficient characterisation. [1]
