IAA biosynthetic genes under control of the Pveg2 promoter

The IAM pathway is a two step pathway which generates indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), also known as auxin, from the precursor tryptophan. IAA tryptophan monooxygenase (IaaM) BBa_K515000, 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) BBa_K515001 . There are several different pathways that produce indole-3-acetic acid.[1]

IaaM and IaaH originate from P.savastanoi and have been expressed in E. coli previously, and shown to secrete auxin into cell supernatant.[2]
