K. xylinus extracellular signal peptide sequence
Introduction
Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2023 team's goal was to create synthetic biology tools for in vivo alterations of Komagataeibacter xylinus bacterial cellulose polymer composition. Firstly, we chose to produce a cellulose-chitin copolymer 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 of bacterial cellulose and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) composite, which is synthesized by K. xylinus.
Usage and Biology
Proteomic analysis of ''K. xylinus'' was performed and signal peptide sequence was identified.
