Usage and Biology

NicA2, derived from Pseudomonas putida, is categorized as a nicotine oxidoreductase, specifically an amine oxidase, characterized by a relatively low amino acid content. In the biological context of Pseudomonas putida S16, NicA2 serves as a pivotal enzyme within the pyridine ring dehydrogenation pathway. Notably, NicA2 demonstrates a notably high degree of specificity, remarkable enzymatic activity, and exceptional thermal stability when acting upon S-nicotine as its substrate. The enzymatic degradation of nicotine catalyzed by NicA2 results in the generation of non-toxic byproducts; however, it should be noted that the catalytic rate of this process is comparatively slow. This NicA2 component finds application in the construction of our composite part, denoted as Δ50NicA2-J1. To derive Δ50-NicA2, the initial 50 amino acids from the N-terminus of NicA2 were excised. This modified component, 50NicA2, is subsequently fused with J1, culminating in the formation of our composite entity, Δ50NicA2-J1[1][2].


Design Consideration

The genetic construct was ligated into a pET28a plasmid vector and subsequently introduced into Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3). Enzymatic cleavage was performed at the NcoI and XhoI restriction sites, allowing for the precise integration of Δ50NicA2. The original His tag on the plasmid was retained, which is useful for subsequent protein purification steps. To enhance the stability of Δ50NicA2 within the human body, the J1 fusion protein was strategically linked in front of them.
