A <b>basic part</b> is a functional unit of DNA that cannot be subdivided into smaller component parts. <a href="http://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa_R0051">BBa_R0051</a> is an example of a basic part, a promoter regulated by lambda cl.
 
</p>
 
 
<p>Most genetically-encoded functions have not yet been converted to BioBrick parts. Thus, there are <b>many</b> opportunities to find new, cool, and important genetically encoded functions, and refine and convert the DNA encoding these functions into BioBrick standard biological parts. </p>

===Name: ===
 
        Phenylpropanoyltransferase (BAPT, TAX7)
 
 
===Reaction: ===
 
        baccatin III + (3R)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoyl-CoA → N-debenzoyl-(3'-RS)-2'-deoxytaxol + coenzyme A
 
 
===Km: ===
 
        5.6 uM for (3R)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoyl-CoA;
 
        68 uM for baccatin III;
 
        2.4 uM for baccatin III and 4.9 uM beta-phenylalanoyl-CoA (Thornburg, 2015)
 
 
===Kcat: ===
 
        0.0583 ± 0.0010 s<sup>-1</sup> (Thornburg, 2015)
 
 
===Enzyme Description: ===
 
        BAPT is the enzyme that adds the C13 Taxol side chain partially formed to the Taxol backbone. It makes use of <br>
 
        CoA chemistry to add the side chain to the 13’ hydroxyl group of baccatin III.
