lac promoter plus PDC-ADH fusion protein for ethanol production
Generation of protein fusion
In order to generate fusion of pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and alcohol dehydrogense B (adhB) Mutagenesis with Blunt- Ended Ligation (MABEL) was used.
A pair of primers was designed complementary with 3' end of pdc and 5' end of adhB. Figure 1 represents the MABEL process.
Fig1. Represents MABEL process used for generation of fused pdc-adhB construct. Primer sequences used: Forward: GCATCAAGCACCTTTTATATCC; Reverse: CAGCAGTTTATTCACCGGTTTAC. See appendix of the Edinburgh University 2013 iGEM team figure 1 for full details on the part sequence, primer binding sites and deleted region.
Generated PCR product (see Fig 1.) was analysed on an agarose gel (Fig 2.):
