Part:BBa_K3332025

phnJ_mut21

The mutant of C-P lyase, which can degrade the glyphosate, from Enterobacterales. This subunit is essential to the activity of the whole enzyme.Use K823004 to construct a new part that can improve the capability of chassis bacteria to degrade glyphosate.

Biology

Phn system is a gene cluster for organophosphorus transport and degradation in many microorganisms. Enterobacterales use phnHIJK genes to encode C-P lyase, PhnJ protein is an essential subunit that can crack C-P bond. The 21^th arginine was mutated to methionine.

Usage

        We ligased the J23100-B0034-phnJ_mut21-B0015 (BBa_K3332069) and the part J23100-B0034-phnE₁-B0034-phnE₂(BBa_K3332067) on the expression vector pSB1C3 by standard assembly. Then the ligation mixture was transformed into E. coli DH5α & E. coli BL21(DE3), which enabled the E. coli to degrade glyphosate at higher efficiency and improved the binding ability with the endogenous PhnHIK.

Characterization

Enzyme activity

        We use Negative Control, experiment groups phnEE and Mut21_phnJ-phnEE to analyze if Mut21_phnJ enhances the degradation of glyphosate by the chassis bacteria by our detection system. Mut21_phnJ gene lowers the degradation rate of E.coli BL21(DE3) about 16.4%, indicate the mutant has higher binding ability to PhnHIK but lower degradation ability compare to endogenous PhnJ.

        The result is shown in Fig.1(Experiment groups in Fig.1
