GPD constitutive yeast promoter

This promoter was taken from the S. cerevisiae Advanced Gateway Destination Vectors.

3-Carene Synthase

The 3-carene synthase is a monoterpene synthase isolated from Picea sitchensis by Chris Keeling and Dr. Joerg Bohlmann. This 3-carene synthase was found to confer resistance to the white pine weevil, part of the reason why the iGEM team decided to characterize this part in yeast. This synthase converts farnesyl pyrophosphate to 66.4% (+)-3-Carene, 16.3% Terpinolene, 2.7% (-)-alpha-pinene, 2.5% Terpinen-4-ol, 2.1% (-)-beta-phellandrene, 2.1% myrcene, 1.4% alpha-Terpinol, 0.8% gamma-terpinene, 1% others.

The 3-carene synthase has been previously characterized by expression in C41 DE3 E. coli followed by a His-tag purification. The purified enzymes were assayed in vitro with GPP and sent for GC-MS.

The iGEM team aims to characterize the 3-carene synthase in vivo in S. cerevisiae yeast. The products wil be sent for GC-MS.
