<p>In cysteine biosynthesis, CysE (a serine acetyltransferase) catalyzes the acetylation of serine to give O-acetylserine, a precursor for the biosynthesis of cysteine. Some O-acetylserine is also converted to N-acetylserine, which in turn triggers the assimilation of sulfate through sulfate assimilation genes.</p>

<p> CysE is a serine acetyltransferase that mediates the production of cysteine. More specifically, CysE  catalyses the activation of L-serine by acetyl-CoA. Its product, 0-acetyl-L-serine (OAS), is then subsequently converted to L-cysteine by 0-acetyl-L-serine(thio1)lyase <a href="#fn:1" id="fnref:1" title="see footnote" class="footnote">[1]</a>.<br/>
  
<p>In <em>Escherichia coli</em> conversion of L-serine to L-cysteine is mediated by the action of two enzymes: serine acetyltransferase <a href="#fn:1" id="fnref:1" title="see footnote" class="footnote">[1]</a> catalyses the activation of L-serine by acetyl-CoA. Its product, 0-acetyl-L-serine (OAS), is then subsequently converted to L-cysteine by 0-acetyl-L-serine(thio1)lyase.<br/>

AraC is also negatively regulated by cAMP via CRP (formerly known as CAP, catabolite activating protein). In presence of glucose, cAMP levels are low, meaning that AraC can still act as a repressor, not allowing transcription. In the original <em>ara</em> operon, this circuit has the function to limit its transcription when arabinose in not needed, which is when it’s not present and/or when glucose (the primary energy source) is available.</p>

Inducible araC-pBAD promoter regulating M256I CysE

The CysE M256I gene (BBa_K731010) is here regulated by the araC-pBAD promoter ([1]), which is inducible by arabinose.

This part has been successfully operated both in pSB1C3 (K731030) and the low copy vector pSB3C5, in which it was characterized. A sfGFP tagged fusion of this part has also been deposited as BBa_K731040, and used to test protein expression levels upon arabinose induction.
This part was cloned by the iGEM Trento 2012 team for the creation of an aerobically engineered pathway for the removal of the black crust disfiguring marble stones. Further information about this part and its characterization can be found in the iGEM Trento 2012 wiki.

This Part is also available into the medium copy vector pSB3C5. They are available upon request ( igemtrento [at] gmail [dot] com )

Usage and Biology

CysE is a serine acetyltransferase that mediates the production of cysteine. More specifically, CysE catalyses the activation of L-serine by acetyl-CoA. Its product, 0-acetyl-L-serine (OAS), is then subsequently converted to L-cysteine by 0-acetyl-L-serine(thio1)lyase [1].
The catalytic activity of CysE is sensitive to feedback inhibition by L-cysteine [2].

Denk and Bock [3], isolated a M256I cysE mutant that had a 10-fold decrease in feedback inhibition by cysteine itself, in the end promoting cysteine secretion into the medium.This particular mutant, thus, would overproduce cysteine, needing and assimiliting more sulfate to satisfy its needs.

The M256I cysE gene is here regulated by the araCpBAD promoter, which is active in presence of L-arabinose. L-arabinose binds to the AraC protein and inactivates the AraC inhibitory function, permitting to the RNA polymerase to start transcription of the gene of interest (i.e. cysE).
AraC is also negatively regulated by cAMP via CRP (formerly known as CAP, catabolite activating protein). In presence of glucose, cAMP levels are low. This means that AraC can still act as a repressor, not allowing transcription.

Protein expression levels have been monitored with the sfGFP tagged composite part BBa_K731040.

Effect of CysE on cell growth

1030-Fig1.png

FIGURE 1 Effect of M256I CysE in cell growth. Cell density was measured at different time points to determine the effect of M256I CysE expression. Cells were grown at 37 °C in LB until it was reached an OD of 0.6. The cells were then spinned down and resuspended in an equal volume of MOPS medium and allowed to grow to an OD of 0.8. Prior the induction cells were splitted into two samples of equal volume. One of the two samples was induced with 5 mM arabinose. Every hour a 0.75mL aliquot was taken to measure the OD. This assay was performed in two different MOPS media: with 60 mM glycerol (MOPS A) and with 30 mM glucose (MOPS B).

FIGURE 2 Toxicity of M256I CysE in cell growth by serial dilutions. Cultures were grown as described in Figure 1. A sample taken at 4 hours or 8 hours was diluted by a 102, 103,104, and 105 scale-factor. 150 ul of each sample were plated. Colonies were counted the day after to assess the original cell number in each culture. This assay was performed in two different MOPS media: with 60 mM glycerol (MOPS A) and with 30 mM glucose (MOPS B).

Enzymatic activity of CysE

FIGURE 3 Cysteine production upon arabinose induction. Cells were grown as described in Figure 1 and left to grow overnight. A modified version of the assay proposed by Gaitonde et al. was adopted to measure cysteine production and secreted in the media. The ninhydrin reagent was prepared mixing 250 mg of ninhydrin in 10 mL of a solution made of glacial acetic acid (60%) and fuming HCl (40%). Solubilization of ninhyrin occured after about 15min of vortexing at max speed. Samples were prepared in glass tubes, mixing 0.5 mL of glacial acetic acid, 0.5 mL of the culture to be tested and 0.5 mL of the reagent previously described. The mixture was left 10 min in a 90 °C water bath. In presence of Cysteine, ninhydrin makes the solution turn pink/purple in about 3 min. Spectra were recorded from 600 nm to 400 nm, as the characteristic intensity peak for cysteine is at 560nm. Cysteine concentration was calculated referring to a standard curve. From left to right cells expressing K731030 in: MOPS A before induction, MOPS A - arabinose after 16 h, MOPS A + arabinose after 16 h, MOPS B before induction, MOPS B - arabinose after 16 h, MOPS B + arabinose after 16 h. MOPS A: medium supplemented with 60 mM glycerol; MOPS B: medium supplemented with 30 mM glucose.

The results from the assay described in Fig. 3 were unexpected. The levels of cysteine produced are in contrast with the expression levels that were observed using part BBa_K731040, a fluorescently tagged CysE. We demonstrated infact that in the presence of glucose the expression of CysE is significantly decreased, due to glucose inhibitory effect of araCpBAD (for these data see BBa_K731040). However, our data show that in glucose there was always cysteine production, that is often surpassed by the culture grown in glycerol but not induced. A possible explanation of this behavior could be the limiting number of cells survived after the high expression, that was found in cultures grown in MOPS medium supplemented with glycerol (see Fig. 2). To test the expression of CysE BBa_K731040 was used.
