Basic Part
acsB1 from A. woodii

This region codes for the Acetyl-CoA Synthase in the acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium woodii. To be more precise it codes for the acetyl-CoA synthase subunit (ACS) of the CODH/ACS-complex which catalyzes the formation of acetyl-CoA from CO and [CH3]-Co-FeS-P. This enzyme is crucial for the complementation of the Wood-Ljungdahl metabolic pathway. The gene coding fragment is flanked by specific restriction sites and overhangs. Upstream it is flanked by a Xho1 restriction site and a 5 base pairs overhang. Downstream it is flanked by a Nhe1 restriction site and a 5 base pairs overhang.

It consists of the genes ascB1, cooC2 and acsA. cooC2 and acsA are immediately laying upstream of acsB1. acsB1 codes for the acetyl-CoA synthase subunit (ACS) of the CODH/ACS-complex which catalyzes the formation of acetyl-CoA from CO and [CH3]-Co-FeS-P. cooC2 codes for the putative CODH nickel-insertion accessory protein. acsA partially codes for the carbon monoxide dehydrogenase subunit of the CODH/ACS-complex, which catalyzes the reduction of CO2 to CO. All these genes are parts of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway of acetogenic bacteria. The gene coding fragment is flanked by specific restriction sites and overhangs.

Basic Part
pMTL83151

pMTL83151 is based on the modular plasmid system ClosTron (Heap et al., 2006) with the Gram-positive replicon pCB102 and ColE1 as a Gram-negative replicon. traJ facilitates the transfer of the plasmid and the catP cassette serves as an antibiotic (chloramphenicol) selection marker. lacZ codes for β-galactosidase, sits at the multiple cloning site and therefore serve as the transformation control.
