Contents
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.
Sequence and Features
In this basic part, only coding sequence is included.But the translational unit is composed of components below.
Promoter: Constitutive promoter for continuous expression. We use Lac promoter in our experiment.
RBS: Strong ribosome binding site for efficient translation. We use BBa-B0034 which shows the relatively strongest translation in our experiment.
PPK2 Coding Sequence: Encodes the polyphosphate kinase 2 enzyme.
Terminator: Efficient transcription terminator to ensure proper mRNA processing. We use a double terminator rrnBT1-T7TE(BBa_B0015) in our experiment.

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.
Figure 6: ATP level and NAD+/NADH in S. oneidensis with the introduction of different hydrolases
In a sentence,the expression of hydrolase PPK2 showed relatively high phosphorus accumulation and electricity generation ability because of raising level of metabolism.
Experimental manipulation:
Electricity production:Using half-cell reaction(electrochemistry) We use half-cell experiment to measure the electricity production ability.
Capacity to absorb phosphorus:Conducting molybdate assays to determine Pi concentration.
Determination of ATP levels:We use enhanced ATP Assay Kit.
