Part:BBa_K1065106
Wintergreen device with SAM: Plac + PCHBA + araCpBAD+ BSMT1 + Plac + SAM synthetase
This is the complete wintergreen odor device from iGEM UniTN-Trento 2013 which encodes for four enzymes: PchB, PchA, BSMT1 and SAM. The device produces methyl salicylate (a fruit ripening inhibitor) [1]and was used for the development of the project B. Fruity by UniTN Trento 2013. This part, containing SAM enzyme BBa_K1065105 [5], is an improvement of part BBa_K1065102.
Usage and Biology
The chorismate, a metabolic intermediate of the Shikimate pathway which many plants and bacteria have, undergoes firstly a reaction of isomerization by the isochorismate synthase, PchA [2]. Salicylate is then obtained by the action of PchB an isochorismate pyruvate lyase. Both enzymes are from the micro-organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa.[3] In the final part of the reaction, BSMT1, a methyltransferase, transfers a methyl group from the S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthesized by the SAM synthetase.
