Part Collection
Parts Collection!
Our collection of parts contains genes required for modification of imidacloprid and degradation of 6-chloronicotinic acid (6-CNA). Final parts were assembled in pSB1C3 backbone harboring the chloramphenicol resistance gene and designed to have a LacI repressor, ribosome binding site, pTAC promoter, our degradation genes of interest, and double terminator.
The three composite parts each containing a cytochrome P450 (CYP) were designed to include an N-terminal pelB signal sequence to target expression to the periplasm and a cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) for functionality of the CYP. The CPR was also made with it’s own designated rbs, promoter, pelB signal sequence, and terminator.
Composite parts with multiple degradation genes were designed so that each gene in the construct had a dedicated rbs, promoter, and double terminator.

Composite parts: Multi-gene Pesticide Degradation
BBa_K1813035 Consists of the genes required for degradation of 6-CNA to fumarate. These include genes coding for Cch2, to convert 6-CNA to 6-HNA, and NicCXDEF, the five enzymes required for degradation of 6-HNA to fumarate. The end-product, fumarate can be funneled into central metabolism.
BBa_K1813067 Contains one of the three CYPs investigated, CYP6G1, cytochrome P450 reductase, cch2, and the nicCXDEF cluster. This construct would allow for modification of imidacloprid to a less toxic form by CYP6G1, conversion of 6-CNA to 6-HNA by Cch2, and degradation of 6-HNA to fumarate by NicCXDEF pathway.
