Design Notes

The VioD developed by the University of Washington's iGEM team have been codon optimized for yeast in hopes to improve the efficiency of its translation.

Source

The CDS contained in this BioBrick was designed by running the VioD gene sent to the University of Washington by the [http://dueberlab.berkeley.edu/ Dueber Laboratory] at University of California-Berkley through IDT's Codon Optimization Tool for S. cerevisiae. A biobrick standard assembly prefix and suffix was added before the it was ordered as a geneblock through IDT.

Characterization

Though typical biobrick characeterization involves in-vitro data, this is unavailabe due to the lack of an available chassis containing the three enzymes necessary to produce the substrate for VioD (VioA, VioB, and VioE). Because of the nature of this biobrick, it is reasonable to look at information from other sources to see the expected results. A protein BLAST shows that the sequence in this biobrick codes for "VioD" found in "cloning vector pET15b-vioD" with 100% quarry cover. Figure 1 shows an example of Violacein using the plasmid this biobrick was based from.
