−	Several Cyanobacteria have Sulfide-Quinone Reductase (SQR) and thus the ability to deprive electron from sulfide compound. According to both databases of NCBI and KEGG, the sqr in Synechococcus SP. PCC 7002 shared great similarity with that of Oscillatoria limnetica, which is reported to exhibit anoxygenic photosynthesis by consumed sulfide anion. Since we planned to express sqr from Synechococcus SP. PCC 7002 in Synechococcus SP. PCC 7942 and Escherichia coli, the experiment was designed to testify the property of the sqr. DCMU was added in the medium to inhibit photosystem II, and therefore only sodium sulfide in the medium can provide electron for carbon photoassimilation. By creating different dilution of sodium sulfide, we expected that the more sodium sulfide was present, the better the cell grew.

SQR(sulfide quinone reductase),from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 plasmid pAQ7

SQR introduction:

Sulfide-dependent anoxygenic photosynthesis, driven by photosystem I (PS/I) alone, among cyanobacteria was first described for Oscillatoria limnetica from Solar Lake. Later photosynthetic sulfide oxidation in O. limnetica led to the discovery of sulfide-quinone reductase (SQR; E.C.1.8.5.′), a novel enzyme that transfers electrons from sulfide into the quinone pool.

Above are sulfide-induced sulfide-Quinone Reductase with the electron transport system.

(Cohen, Y., E. Padan, and M. Shilo, Facultative anoxygenic photosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria limnetica. J Bacteriol, 1975. 123(3): p. 855-61.)

Gene construction and cloning:

1. This gene is constructed by [http://2012.igem.org/Team:NYMU-Taipei]

2. SQR gene came from Synechococcus elongatus PCC7002 because the hypersaline strain S. elongatus PCC 7002, which is already sequenced, is 96% similar to O.limnetica SQR gene. We got the whole gene sequence of SQR from NCBI web [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/6054904]

3. Figure showed the cloning result of SQR gene.

Results

After establishing a H2S standard curve to quantify H2S concentration, different H2S concentration challenge SQR transformed E.coli and H2S consumption in 24hrs or 48hrs were tested. The result showed that SQR transformed E.coli consumed much more H2S compred to the blank control, Str transformed E.coli. Our SQR transformed E.coli depleted much more H2S in 48 hours than in 24 hours timepoint.(figure 2A,2B) And SQR transformed E.coli consumed H2S dramatically.(figure 3)

Following were results in our experiment.

Conclusion

Our cloning product SQR(sulfide quinone reductase),from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 plasmid pAQ7, could transfer electrons from sulfide into the quinone pool.
