Phenylalanine ammonia lyase 2 (PAL2) from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyzes the deamination of phenylalanine. It was successfully used in our synthetic styrene production pathway in yeast. The enzyme was proved to function as expected by measuring trans-cinnamic acid production over time. | Phenylalanine ammonia lyase 2 (PAL2) from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyzes the deamination of phenylalanine.

Parts
The 2018 Groningen IGEM team has produced several BioBricks that may be useful for future teams.
PAL2 BBa_K2783010
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase 2 (PAL2) from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyzes the deamination of phenylalanine. It was successfully used in our synthetic styrene production pathway in yeast. The enzyme was proved to function as expected by measuring trans-cinnamic acid production over time.
T7 PAL2 BBa_K2783011
A composite part with PAL2 was created, adding T7 expression functionality to the part. Successful expression was proven to be functional by SDS-PAGE gel.
EGII BBa_K2783021
Endoglucanase II from Trichoderma reesei cleaves the beta-1,4 glycosidic bond in cellulose, a resilient polymer of glucose. This part was used in our consolidated bioprocess to degrade cellulose into usable sugars. We showed that growth on cellulose was possible using several cellulase enzymes, and EGII itself was proven to be functional via a colorimetric assay.
