Usage and Biology

We used an alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) as part of our nootkatone pathway. The ADH we used for our project is from Pichia pastoris. It converts (+)-trans-nootkatol into (+)-nootkatone by oxidation, using NAD+ as a cofactor. A cofactor regeneration is not necessary in our case, because BM3, another enzyme of our nootkatone pathway, degrades NADH+H+ into NAD+. In nature ADH reduces or oxidizes alcohols to their specific aldehydes or ketones with help of NAD+.

This part is designed for cytosolic expression, for peroxisomal import please choose part: BBa_K2271116

Characterization

We verified the expression of ADH via western blot. Therefore, we have a 3xFLAG-6xHis-Tag as a part in our plasmids, we can use for the antibodies. The estimated atomic mass of ADH is 38kDa.

Protein abundance in WT and transformed cells from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Protein abundance was detected using 6x His Tag Antibody. WT = wild type, ADH = Alcohol Dehydrogenase, PTS1 = Peroxisom Targeting Signal 1
