Pthl-aceE,Expression of aceE with Pthl promoter

This part is responsible for expressing the aceE protein under the control of a Plac promotor, a ribosome binding site (RBS) and a terminator. It is composed of BBa_K3443002 (Pthl), BBa_K103015 (RBS), BBa_K4407002 (aceE), and BBa_K3585002 (terminator). aceE protein is a component of the PDH complex and catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO2. It can function well in aerobic environment. In our project, we used this device to provide a new metabolic pathway for C. tyrobutyricum in aerobic environment.

Results

1)Plasmid construction: pMTL-Pthl-aceE

Using the plasmid pMTL-Pthl-BS2 provided by NJTech_China team as the template, the linearized vector pMTL-Pthl was amplified. The fragment of aceE gene was amplified from the genome of Escherichia coli DH5α. Gibson assembly method was used to connect aceE gene fragment with the linearized pMTL-Pthl vector. Then, we ran a colony PCR for the transformed bacterial colony (E .coli JM109), inoculated the positive bacterial colonies, and extracted the plasmids, which were then confirmed to be pMTL-Pthl-aceE by gel electrophoresis and gene sequencing.

2) C. tyrobutyricum transformed with pMTL-Pthl-aceE

After the recombinant plasmid pMTL-Pthl-aceE was conjugated into C. tyrobutyricum using E. coli CA434 as the donor strain. The expression of aceE protein in the recombinant bacteria was confirmed by SDS-PAGE.
