<p>Hypotaurine is the predecessor substrate of Taurine, in the pathway of cysteine metabolism, which can be obtained naturally by some foods, biosynthesized by some organisms or produced through a series of chemical reactions. Taurine and hypotaurine synthesis is an important process as it plays many roles in the functions on the human body, specially like an endogenous neurotransmitter, among other organisms. The main aim of our project is to successfully introduce a couple of enzymes into Escherichia coli’s genome so it can biosynthesize this important molecule. To achieve this, these two taurine-pathway enzymes were selected: cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) and cysteine dioxygenase (CDO). It is important to highlight the fact that it’s the first time we synthesize both of them using synthetic biology techniques.</p>

<h5> Styling your wiki </h5>
 
−
<p>You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.</p>
 
−
<p>While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.</p>

<h5> Wiki template information </h5>

−
<p>We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Judging/Pages_for_Awards/Instructions">Pages for awards</a> link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!</p>

<h5>Tips</h5>
+
−
<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
+
−
<ul>
+
−
<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
+
−
<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>
+
−
<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
+
−
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
+
−
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
+
−
<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Calendar">iGEM 2016 calendar</a> </li>

Abstract

Hypotaurine is the predecessor substrate of Taurine, in the pathway of cysteine metabolism, which can be obtained naturally by some foods, biosynthesized by some organisms or produced through a series of chemical reactions. Taurine and hypotaurine synthesis is an important process as it plays many roles in the functions on the human body, specially like an endogenous neurotransmitter, among other organisms. The main aim of our project is to successfully introduce a couple of enzymes into Escherichia coli’s genome so it can biosynthesize this important molecule. To achieve this, these two taurine-pathway enzymes were selected: cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) and cysteine dioxygenase (CDO). It is important to highlight the fact that it’s the first time we synthesize both of them using synthetic biology techniques.
