Codes for the Hok-Sok Type I toxin-antitoxin system. This system naturally evolved in bacteria as a method to maintain plasmids. Hok-Sok is noted for its presence on the R1 plasmid, which contains genes that confer antibiotic resistance. Hok-Sok is believed to be used to maintain these plasmids in the absence of antibiotic.
Epsilon cyclase from the A. thaliana genome is capable of converting lycopene to gamma-carotene. A transport tag for the chloroplast at the N-terminus has been removed and the coding sequence has been codon-optimized for E. coli.
Epsilon cyclase from the A. thaliana genome is capable of converting alpha-carotene to alpha-cryptoxanthin. A transport tag for the chloroplast at the N-terminus has been removed and the coding sequence has been codon-optimized for E. coli.
