st-t25ShZPO

To equip our insecticide with enhanced prevention efficacy against T. urticae, we also decide to synthesize 9-hydroxy-zingiberene (9HZ) and 9-hydroxy-10,11-epoxy zingiberene (9H10epoZ), two oxidized products of the monocyclic sesquiterpene 7epiZ. However, the zingiberene oxidase ShZPO was originally found in eukaryotic organisms. They were originally immobalized on the ER membrane. However, since E. coli does not have this structure, the 25 amino acid N-terminus ER transit peptide of the oxidase is truncated to enhance solubility and expression rate. Also, a SpyTag is added, which will form an isopeptide bond with the SpyCatcher, thus imitating the colocalization of the two enzymes in eukaryotes. Our usage of sc-t25ShZPO provide future iGEM teams with a novel method to synthesize an enzyme originally found in eukaryotes through a prokaryotic chassis.
