Introduction
Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2023 team's goal was to create a universal synthetic biology system for Komagataeibacter xylinus for in vivo bacterial cellulose polymer composition modification. Firstly, we chose to produce a cellulose-chitin polymer that would later be deacetylated, creating bacterial cellulose-chitosan. This polymer is an easily modifiable platform when compared to bacterial cellulose. The enhanced chemical reactivity of the bacterial cellulose-chitosan polymer allows for specific functionalizations in the biomedicine field, such as scaffold design. As a second approach, we designed indigo-dyed cellulose that could be used as a green chemistry way to apply cellulose in the textile industry. Lastly, we have achieved a composite of bacterial cellulose and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), which is synthesized by K. xylinus.
Usage and biology
AnCDA is chitin deacetylase from Aspergilus nidulans FGSCA4. This deacetylase is a member of carbohydrate esterase family 4 (CE4) of the CAZy database (www.cazy.org). It has broad substrate specifity – AnCDA hydrolyzes N-acetamido groups in chitin oligomers, crystalline chitin and chitosan, however, it does not deacetylase peptidoglycan. AnCDA reaches its highest level of activity at approximately 50°C and pH 8.0 when Co2+ is used as a cofactor.
AnCDA gene has three exons and encodes the primary product of 237 amino acids, including the N-terminal extracellular signal sequence. Coding regions except leader sequence were cloned into pBAD/HisB vector for recombinant protein expression in E. coli and protein purification using Ni-NTA chromatography with His-tag fused to AnCDA in N-terminal.
This basic part is used for achieving bacterial cellulose-chitosan polymer by enzymatic reaction of deacetylation from bacterial cellulose-chitin. In addition, we have created a construct BBa_K4719019 to improve the degree of deacetylation.
