This basic part encodes the PPK2 gene which is initially from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the PYYDT plasmid. The PPK2 enzyme facilitates the reversible conversion between inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), playing a crucial role in phosphate metabolism. It distinguished from PPK1 by the following: synthesis of poly P from GTP or ATP, a preference for Mn2+ over Mg2+, and a stimulation by Poly P. The forward reaction, a poly P-driven nucleoside diphosphate kinase synthesis of GTP from GDP, is 75-fold greater than the reverse reaction, Poly P synthesis from GTP.

In our team’s previous research we found that the behavior of the modified Shewanella did not reach our expectation and the electron microscopic observation also showed an abnormal morphology of the bacterium, we postulated that too much PPK1 may lead to an abnormal charge distribution in the bacterium thus result in a decrease in the bacterium's activity and a reduction in its capacity for electricity production, so we planed to improve the situation by introducing different polyphosphate hydrolases which influence the phosphorus metabolism of Shewanella.

PolyP <->Pi

Basic Description

This basic part encodes the PPK2 gene which is sourced from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and we performed codon optimization on it. It is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid. The PPK2 enzyme facilitates the reversible conversion between inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and inorganic phosphate(Pi) with a tendency to produce Pi, playing a crucial role in phosphate metabolism.

It distinguished from PPK1 by the following: (1)It synthesis of poly P from GTP or ATP with a preference for Mn2+ over Mg2+. (2)It is stimulated by Poly P. (3) The forward reaction, a PolyP-driven nucleoside diphosphate kinase synthesis of GTP from GDP, is 75-fold greater than the reverse reaction, PolyP synthesis from GTP.

In a sentence,It can reversibly convert PolyP and Pi. For the first time, we expressed this element in a strain of S. oneidensis and conducted codon optimization based on S. oneidensis.

When we are conducting the project of the Nanjing China team in 2024,we found that the introduction of PolyP synthase in Shewanella decrease the current significantly. So we have a strategy of introducing PolyP hydrolase, and this element is one of the PolyP hydrolase.

Consistent with our expectations, we found a significant increase in S. oneidensis current after the introduction of this element (Fig.4).

Miraculously, the ability of S. oneidensis to accumulate phosphorus also increased after the introduction of phosphorus hydrolase (Fig.5).

Therefore, we performed ATP and NADH/NAD^+^ measurements (Fig.6). It was found that the introduction of this element could increase the levels of ATP and NADH in the cell, proving that this element could increase the metabolic level of S. oneidensis.
