What gene in natural black willow bark helps treat acne?

Genetically modified foods project… I have to find the specific gene in an organism’s sequence to “insert” into something else, via bacteria/vector….
i cannot find it anywhere, not even on google scholar.
help! thank you!

It’s the salicylic acid that works for acne… and it’s topical. Not systemic.

Since salicylic acid is not a simple protein, I’d doubt it’s a simple gene transcription/translation system. There will be a series of steps in the pathway. So… chances are you’re going to have to find another plant that naturally produces the compound. Then you could splice in extra copies of the promoter sequence. Or if you find a gene that regulates the promoter, you could splice in that to up-regulate it.

I may have over-thought this. *laughing* But figured it’d help to know what the active chemical is wrt acne, at least.
