Abstract

In this paper, a universal effective novel method of constructing tandem genes cluster for isoflavone engineering was reported. A tandem genes cluster CHS-CHI-IFS (rIFS) of secondary metabolites of plant isoflavones was constructed by using the chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), and isoflavone synthase (IFS) (GenBank accession numbers EU526827, EU526829, EU526830) in only one recombination with the pET22b vector. The resulting expression vector pET-rIFS was heterogeneously expressed and co-incubated with barrenwort extractions, and the genistein-like component was detected.
