Design Notes

Considerations in the design of pntA include their important role in catalytic hydrogen transfer between NADH and NADPH. Considering that the overexpression of BcsAB by engineered bacteria to synthesize bacterial cellulose requires a considerable amount of NADPH, we decided to introduce PntAB to increase the intracellular level of NADPH. PntAB, which is constructed of α and β subunits and is encoded by pntA and pntB, can enhance the intracellular availability of NADPH when expressed.
