Usage and Biology
3-Succinoyl-pyridine (SP) is a precursor compound with pivotal significance in the synthesis of depressant substances[1]. The biosynthesis of SP is intricately linked to the bioconversion of tobacco waste and is executed within the entirety of the cellular structure of the genetically engineered Pseudomonas strain S16dspm. SP represents a derivative of nicotine, characterized by its molecular simplicity as a pyridine compound. Remarkably, this compound possesses the capacity for transformation into a mammalian antihypertensive agent, namely ω-isopropyl-(propionyl)-L-proline[2].
Design Consideration
The genetic construct was ligated into a pET28a plasmid vector and subsequently introduced into Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3). NicX was genetically connected with SP to enable its direct translation onto the surface of BL21. This innovation eliminated the need for protein purification steps, allowing for the direct utilization of E. coli as a host for enzymes in various applications.
