The basic part(BBa_K5034212) encodes the ''PAP'' gene which is initially from ''Acinetobacter johnsonii'' and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid. This part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion of inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The PAP enzyme plays a crucial role in phosphate and energy metabolism. PAP and PPK2 have strong PolyP utilization activity, and the activity of PAP is 20-fold higher than that in PPK1, even though the Km values for utilization of all three enzymes are almost the same. This implies that PAP and PPK2 work mainly for PolyP utilization in the cell. However, PAP has the same level of PolyP synthetic activity (Km and Vmax) as PPK1, and this suggests that PAP also works for PolyP synthesis at a significant level.

Poly P + AMP-> ADP

Basic Description

This plasmid is the expression vector of PAP gene(BBa_K5034212).

The basic part(BBa_K5034212) encodes the PAP gene which is initially from Acinetobacter johnsonii and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid. This part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion of inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The PAP enzyme plays a crucial role in phosphate and energy metabolism. PAP and PPK2 have strong PolyP utilization activity, and the activity of PAP is 20-fold higher than that in PPK1, even though the Km values for utilization of all three enzymes are almost the same. This implies that PAP and PPK2 work mainly for PolyP utilization in the cell. However, PAP has the same level of PolyP synthetic activity (Km and Vmax) as PPK1, and this suggests that PAP also works for PolyP synthesis at a significant level.

Origin (Organism)

The PAP gene was sourced from Acinetobacter johnsonii.

The pBBR1MCS plasmid backbone is a standard vector used for gene expression in synthetic biology applications. The plasmid backbone(BBa_K5034201) of this part is a modified version of pBBR1MCS, with a double terminator(BBa_B0015) on it.

Experimental Characterization and results

We first determined the electroproduction capacity of S. oneidensis after introduction of the PAP enzyme.(Fig.6)

Figure 6: Statistical data on electricity production capacity of S. oneidensis with the introduction of different hydrolases

We found that the efficiency of bacterial inhibition of electricity production did not significantly increase after SPAP introduction, and even showed a significant decrease, so it is not a good synthetic biology component to enhance the electricity production capacity of S. oneidensis

Afterwards, we also measured the phosphorus aggregation capacity of S. oneidensis(Fig.7) and found no significant difference from the wild type, indicating that its introduction did not promote phosphorus uptake in S. oneidensis either.

Tests to measure ATP levels in S. oneidensis(Fig.8) also showed that its introduction did not result in an increase in the metabolic strength of S. oneidensis either.

In summary, the option of importing PAP is not a good one.

Chassis and genetic context

Chassis：Shewanella onediensis MR-1

The gene can be expressed and function properly in S. oneidensis.

Potential applications

PAP, as an enzyme class for the synthesis of ADP, plays an important role in the synthesis of intracellular high-energy phosphate compounds and is a key enzyme in the regulation of the intensity of intracellular metabolism.
