sc-t55AtCPR1
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 8epiZ. However, the reductase AtCPR1 was originally found in eukaryotic organisms. They were originally immobalized on the ER membrane. However, since E. coli does not have this structure, the 55 amino acid N-terminus ER transit peptide of the reductase is truncated to enhance solubility and expression rate. Also, a SpyCathcer is added, which will form an isopeptide bond with the SpyTag, thus imitating the colocalization of the two enzymes in eukaryotes. Our usage of sc-t55AtCPR1 provide future iGEM teams with a novel method to synthesize an enzyme originally found in eukaryotes through a prokaryotic chassis.
