ALDH1 from Artemisia annua, 6 His tagged
This is the coding region of the ALDH1 gene from Artemisia annua with added biobrick suffix, prefix and a 6 His tag in a pSB1C3 plasmid backbone. This part is an element of TCD iGEM 2015 set of parts for the synthesis of the anti-malarial drug precursor dihydroartemisinic acid in E. coli. The ALDH1 gene encodes the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase 1, which catalyses the conversion of (11R)-dihydroartemisinic aldehyde to dihydroartemisinic acid as well as the conversion of artemisinic aldehyde to artemisinic acid with NADP+ as the substrate. Artemisinic acid and dihydroartemisinic acid can be extracted from E. coli cells through lysis and chemically converted to the anti-malarial artemisinin. This part is codon optimised for BioBrick 3A assembly and expression in E. coli cells as well as protein purification.
