Alkaline Phosphatase optimized for E. Coli w/ 40x catalytic activity

Alkaline phosphatases are a group of isoenzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of organic phosphate esters present in the extracellular space [1] . This catalytic activity is commonly used in diagnostic tests as the cleavage of the phosphate ester produces fluorescence visible to the naked eye.
3D representation of the alkaline phosphatase

This part is being registered as an improvement on a previously registered part BBa_K1216001. Our contribution altered the sequence to improve enzymatic activity and expression rates in E. Coli.

Usage and Biology

Alkaline phosphatase are plasma membrane-bound glycoproteins which are capable of hydrolyzing monophosphate esters resulting in the release of inorganic phosphate[3]. Dephosphorylation activity is catalyzed by two Zn2+ and one Mg2+ ions within the active site with both ions being required for enzymatic activity. In addition to this, both metal ions aid in structure conformation stability and subunit-subunit interactions.

The varying reaction mechanisms of this enzyme are well-conserved across animal and bacteria variants with either Ser, Thr, or Cys being modified within the active site during transfer (the residue used depends on the activity type)[4]. Additionally, the final phosphate receptor is conserved being either H2O, a secondary substrate, or another hydroxyl group within the same molecule. An illustration of the transfer of the phosphate group is depicted below.
