Design Notes
Codon optimization for Glycine max (soybean) is a unique design consideration for all of CU Boulder’s coding sequences including our Tc.cytoGGPPS. Codon optimization is the intentional use of specific codons for specific amino acids, dependent on what tRNAs are most abundant in the organism. While codon optimization is a common consideration for synthetic biologists, our sequences are unique for iGEM because they are intended for expression in soybeans. Another design consideration in the removal of chloroplast location tag on the 5’ end of the coding region. This modification forces the Geranylgeranyl-Pyrophosphate Synthase to be expressed in the cytosol1.
Source
This Geranylgeranyl-Pyrophosphate Synthase originates from Taxus canadensis. All of our DNA fragments are obtained via de novo synthesis by iGEM sponsors Twist Bioscience and Integrated DNA Technologies.Codon optimization was also performed using Twist and IDT’s respective programs.
