Part:BBa_I742111

Limonene synthase gene with ribosome binding site

Ribosome binding site attached to Limonene Synthase gene (LIMS1) from Citrus limon. Limonene synthase enzyme produces (+)-limonene from farnesyl diphosphate (an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway). (+) Limonene is a component of lemon scent.

For a diagram of limonene biosynthesis and the biosynthesis of other lemon flavour compounds see [http://2007.igem.org/Edinburgh/Yoghurt/Design#Lemon_Flavour_Production Edinburgh Yoghurt Wiki]

BBa_I742111 parameters

Burden Imposed by this Part:

Burden is the percent reduction in the growth rate of E. coli cells transformed with a plasmid containing this BioBrick (± values are 95% confidence limits). This BioBrick did not exhibit a burden that was significantly greater than zero (i.e., it appears to have little to no impact on growth). Therefore, users can depend on this part to remain stable for many bacterial cell divisions and in large culture volumes. Refer to any one of the BBa_K3174002 - BBa_K3174007 pages for more information on the methods, an explanation of the sources of burden, and other conclusions from a large-scale measurement project conducted by the 2019 Austin_UTexas team.

This functional parameter was added by the 2020 Austin_UTexas team.
