Overview
The ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase enzyme which are encoded by this part makes up the ferredoxin reductase operon for testing the hydrogen production pathway of our project. Oxidised ferredoxin is reduced by ferredoxin reductase using NADPH. The reduced ferredoxin supplies electrons to hydrogenase to allow the testing for hydrogen production with the hydrogenase operon in vivo in the absence of PSII. In the presence of PSII we plan to enable the direct transfer of electrons to the hydrogenase from PSII, similar to the proof of concept for PSII-hydrogenase coupling demonstrated in vitro [5].
Biology & Literature
Ferredoxin-NADP reductase (FNR) has a mass of 36kDa and shows ferredoxin-dependent cytochrome c reduction activity [1]. This enzyme facilitates electron transfer from ferredoxin to NADP [2]. In vivo studies showed that this protein is N-trimethylated on 3 different lysines – K135, K83 and K89). This modification is thought to be involved in regulation and structural modulation since the methylated protein is smaller and more compact. Studies comparing FNR protein from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with recombinant protein expressed in E. coli showed that the latter had a higher Km value for NADPH [3].
PETF plays a role in transfer of electrons between photosystem I and FNR [4]. It has been shown to enhance heat stress tolerance when it is overexpressed in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by downregulating the levels of reactive oxygen species.
Part Verification
Improved Characterisation
The Macquarie iGEM team of 2017 has further characterise the expression and function of the proteins in this part.
