AOX2 (Alcohol Oxidase)

Alcohol oxidase (AOX) is an oxido-reductase that catalyzes the oxidation of alcohol and produce aldehyde and hydrogen peroxide (C2H5OH + O2 → CH3CHO + H2O2). There are two Alcohol Oxidase (AOX) genes, AOX1 (CAY72092.1) and AOX2 (CAY71377.1), on chromosome 4 in [http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/genomes/view/Pichia-pastoris Pichia pastoris]. AOX was utilized to provide carbon source and energy for the methylotrophic yeast by metabolizing primary alcohol including methanol and some short-chain alcohols such as ethanol.
In Mingdao iGEM 2016, the gene expression of this part was confirmed with a constitutive promoter and RBS (BBa_K1991003). In addition, the part was further applied in Blood Alcohol Meter (BBa_K1991009) by the demonstration of H2O2 enzyme activity assay and modeling on an electrochemical simulator.
