luxCDABEG-luxG
This bacterial lux operon (luxCDABEG)encodes for the endogenous reactants needed in a light-emitting chemical reaction in the bioluminescent bacteria Aliivibrio fischeri. The luxA and luxB genes code for the alpha and beta subunits of the bacterial luciferase, luxC, luxD, and luxE genes encode for the r,s, and t polypeptides of the fatty-acid reductase complex that synthesizes and recycles the aldehyde substrate for luciferase, and luxG codes for the flavin reductase needed in regenerating the reduced flavin mononucleotide used in the reaction. As the flavin reductase has been shown to increase light production in bacteria, the 2018 SHSID_China iGEM team has synthesized and attached another luxG gene from the same species (but different strain) onto the original lux operon in hopes of increasing light output.
