TITLE: The UV-responsive Wintergreen Odor Generator

ABSTRACT

The UV-responsive wintergreen odor generator catalyzes the conversion of the precursor salicylic acid to the wintergreen odor methyl salicylate under extensive UV irradiation. The biosynthetic device is composed of two transcriptional devices: Rec A (SOS) promoter (BBa_J22106) and a wintergreen odor enzyme generator (BBa_J45119). The odor generator takes as input extensive UV irradiation and produce as output an enzyme that catalyzes production of an odor from a chemical precursor.

INTRODUCTION

Recently, due to artificial chemical substances such as CFC (Freon) has destroied the ozone layer,following by the increase of UV irradiation on the earth.Extensive UV irradiation is harmful for humans,such as

• 1) Weaken the immune system of human
• 2) Increase the risk of skin cancer, cataracts
• 3) Make a heavy damage in gene

We design to develope a biological system in E.coli which can detect extensive UV irradiation. If the tooktit is under extensive UV irradiation, it will produce a wintergreen odor.Then, This special odor will warn people. In order to increase the attraction of our product, we make E.coli culture medium with different colour, using red, yellow and blue pigments.

PARTS

Part A:BBa_J22106 rec A (SOS) Promoter

Extensive UV irradiation impings on heavily DNA damage, resulting in a single-strand DNA occuring, which activates RecA protein.Then,RecA protein leads to the expression of about 20 different repair proteins to contract DNA damamage.RecA protein is the central regulator in SOS repair system.Rec A (SOS) Promoter is available in 2004 registry part plate.

Part B:BBa_J45119 Wintergreen odor enzyme (BwMST1) generator

BBa_J45119 takes as input a transcriptional signal (PoPS) and produce as output the BMST1 enzyme that catalyzes production of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid. Methyl salicylate has a wintergreen smell. Wintergreen odor enzyme (BMST1) generator is availabe in 2005 registry part plate.

RESULTS
