AM1-ftfl

Introduction

One of the goals of iGEM24-SCUT-China-A is to use synthetic biology tools to obtain Halomonas TD strains that can metabolize formate. We chose to introduce the formate assimilation pathway to enable it to utilize formate, a difficult-to-recover product in CDE. For the first method, based on previous studies obtained from literature research, we selected the tetrahydrofolate (THF) cycle imported from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1(parts:) and strengthened the endogenous C2 and C3 modules of Halomonas TD(parts:).

Usage and Biology

AM1-Ftfl is Formate-tetrahydrofolate ligase. The protein sequence is from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. This protein catalyzes the conversion of formate into 10-formyltetrahydrofolate during the tetrahydrofolate (THF) cycle(C1M) . This part is used in BBa_xx and BBa_xx
