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''.

ClCDA is chitin deacetylase isolated from fungus ''Colletotrichum lindemuthianum''. It catalyzes hydrolysis of N-acetamido groups in polymers containing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers.  ClCDA requires Co2+ for its catalytical activity.

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 bacterial cellulose and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) composite, which is synthesized by K. xylinus.

Bacterial cellulose-chitin polymer was achieved by increasing the production of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, which can be recognized as a viable substrate for cellulose synthase and incorporated in the bacterial cellulose polymer.
We employed two strategies to produce this material:
1.The first approach was to add N-acetylglucosamine into the growth medium BBa_K4719013.
2.The second one was the production of N-acetylglucosamine by K. xylinus from common sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose in the growth medium BBa_K4719014.
After achieving bacterial cellulose-chitin copolymer, we had to deacetylase this material to produce bacterial cellulose-chitosan copolymer BBa_K4719019, BBa_K4719020, BBa_K4719024. This specific part was used for bacterial cellulose-chitin deacetylation.

Usage and Biology

ClCDA is chitin deacetylase isolated from fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. It catalyzes hydrolysis of N-acetamide groups in polymers containing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers. ClCDA requires Co2+ for its catalytical activity.
ClCDA gene consists of two exons and encodes 248 amino acid protein, including extracellular localization signal peptide. Coding sequence excluding signal peptide was cloned into pMAL-p5x-CL-StrepII vector containing N- terminal MBP (maltose binding protein) sequence and C-terminal Strep-tag II sequence.
ClCDA can catalyse both deacetylation and acylation reactions, depending on reaction conditions [1].

Experimental characterization

Protein expression optimization

ClCDA fused with MBP (72.3 kDa) biosynthesis optimization in E. coli ArcticExpress (DE3) strain. Target protein expression was induced with 0.05 or 0.1 mM IPTG when cell culture optic density at 600 nm reached 0.4 or 0.8. After induction, cultures were incubated at 16 or 28 °C overnight. ClCDA-MBP, expressed in E. coli ER2508, was used as control. The optimal biosynthesis conditions were when protein expression is induced at 0.8 OD600 with 0.05 mM IPTG and cultures are incubated overnight at 28 °C after induction.

Western blot analysis

Western blot for evaluating Strep-tagged ClCDA fused with MBP (72.3 kDa) biosynthesis in ArcticExpress (DE3) E. coli strain. Target protein expression was induced with 0.05 or 0.1 mM IPTG when cell culture optic density at 600 nm reached 0.4 or 0.8. After induction, cultures were incubated at 16 or 28°C overnight.

Protein purification

Protein purification was performed with 6 grams of biomass using ÄKTA avant chromatography system.

Deacetylation enzymatic activity analysis with fluorescence microscopy

Deacetylation was performed in a reaction with a final volume of 200 µL: 2 µL 1 mM CoCl2, deacetylase ClCDA - 2µM and filling the remaining volume with 20mM HEPES-NaOH ph8, 150mM NaCl buffer. The samples were incubated for 14 h at 37° while shaking at 300 rpm, reaction was stopped by incubating for 3 min at 98°C.

For cellulose-chitosan copolymer generation from cellulose-chitin exopolymer we used chitin deacetylase ClCDA. To determine if the deacetylation of our cellulose-chitin copolymer was successful, we used Alexa Fluor™ 405 NHS ester dye that specifically binds to free amino groups. On that account, only deacetylated copolymers should produce fluorescent signal at this wavelength. To verify that our purified deacetylases are enzymatically active, at first, we checked the deacetylation activity on enzyme's natural substrate - chitin.

C - K. xylinus modified with AGM1-GFA1-GNA1-UAP1 (BBa_K4719014) producing bacterial cellulose-chitin copolymer grown on 2% fructose. D - chitin control. ClCDA was active on native substrate chitin and on the bacterial cellulose-chitin copolymer.
