1 It s gonna be sweet Team Frankfurt

2 Advantages of Stevia Stevia = composite of several steviol glycosides anticariogenic antidiabetic no impact on blood sugar no delay of satiety few calories ph stable, heat stable protective effect on vitamin C sweet diterpenes have certain advantages compared to both sugar and other sweeteners 2

3 Rebaudioside A Rebaudioside A = steviol glycoside of the stevia plant best taste highest sweetness (300 saccharose) least bitterness of all steviol glycosides extraction: stevia plants are dried and a composition (including rebaudioside A) of steviol glycosides are isolated 3

4 Saccharomyces cerevisiae a model organism Why do we use S.cerevisiae? two required enzymes are localized in the ER established food additive producer closer related to Stevia than E.coli is 4

5 Metabolic pathway 5

6 Metabolic pathway 6

7 Metabolic pathway 7

8 Metabolic pathway 8

9 Gap repair homologue recombination in yeast Homologous Sequences: At least 40 bp long Free ends will be recombined Similiar to double strand break repair 9

10 Gap repair example from our project Required Components linearized plasmid DNA fragments containing appropriate homology to the neighbouring fragments In vivo assembly in yeast 10

11 Yeast BioBrick Assembly (RFC proposal) Aim: Getting biobricks compatible to gap repair cloning construction of two standard primers for gene amplification Primers contain homologue overlaps to terminator/promoter-fragments Gap repair cloning is possible 11

12 Yeast BioBrick Assembly (RFC proposal) Aim: Variability of the terminator/promoter-fragment construction of standard primers that bind prefix of promoter and have a homologue overlap to the respective terminator possibility to combine every promoter every terminator 12

13 Results of the project Assembly of the mevalonate pathway overexpression plasmid and transformation in yeast Assembly of the steviol synthesis plasmid Creation of BioBricks of genes HMG-CoA-R: BBa_K FPPS: BBa_K Bifunctional Cyclase: BBa_K KO: BBa_K Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate detection Yeast BioBrick Assembly (new BioBrick RFC proposal) Human practice & Ethics 13
