This part encodes BSMT1, an enzyme that methylates salycilic acid to obtain methyl salycilate. It is the original part from the 'Eau de coli' MIT iGEM 2006 project, re-submitted (and resurrected) by us in pSB1C3.
PchA is the enzyme responsible for the formation of isochorismate from chorismate. The next step is performed by the PchB enzyme, which converts isochorismate in salicylic acid.
This part encodes the SAM (S-AdoMet) synthetase gene, which we friendly call "uncle SAM". SAM is a methyl donor required to produce MeSA and other methylated molecules.
We attached pLac promoter to the amilCP gene. This part does not work. In fact, we started from BBa_K592009 which lacks the RBS (it is a coding part). No RBS, no party!
The starting point to build a blue-light sensing circuit: the photosensor (Yf1) and the response regulator (FixJ) with its promoter (pFixK2). This part was build merging BBa_K592016 and BBa_K592006.
Bba_K1065300
BBa_K952003 with Yf1 and FixJ under pLac promoter.
pLac+Yf1-FixJ-pFixK2-amil GFP constructed adding the pLac promoter upstream of BBa_K952003, which lacks the RBS before amil GFP.
This is a complete blue-light sensing circuit, inverted with cI. Yf1 and FixJ are regulated by the Anderson promoter (BBa_J23100). pLambda regulates the expression of the reporter gene amilCP. When exposed to blue-light, amilCP is synthesized, when the blue-light is not present, amilCP is not produced.
