D-xylonic acid producing operon

D-Xylose is a monosaccharide belonging to the aldopentose family. It was recently shown that the D-xylose dehydrogenase xylB from Caulobacter crescentus can convert D-xylose to D-xylonolactone. This can react spontaneously or through the catalysation of xylC to D-xylonic acid. (2)

In E. coli D-xylonic acid can further be metabolized to ethyleneglycol by the enzymes yjhG (BBa_K1602012), yagE (BBa_K1602011) and yqhD (BBa_K1602013) which are already present in this host. (1)

  • Figure 1 Sheme of the reactions catalyzed by xylB and xylC. The xylC reaction can also happen spontaneously but in a much lower speed. (2)


  • Usage

    This part is a composite of two coding genes with strong RBS (BBa_B0034). The transcription is controlled by a T7 promotor (BBa_I719005).

    We used this operon to investigate possible production of ethylene glycol in E. coli.

    Results

    E. coli BL21 were transformed with the operon and grown to a OD of 0.6. A negative sample was taken before IPTG was added to a concentration of 1mM for induction. Cells stayed at 28°C for 12 hours and later were harvested and resuspended in buffer. A small amount of both induced samples and negative samples was loaded on a SDS-PAGE while proteins were extracted from the rest. The SDS-PAGE showed overexpression of proteins of the expected mass.

    In a NAD+ assay activity of xylB the activity of xylB could been proven

    Our cells were again inoculated and induced at an OD of 0.6. This time we added D-xylose at an concentration of 4g/l. After induction for 12 hours cells were harvested and lysated. The cell lysate was chemically extracted with dichlormethan and analysed with HPLC-MS. Unfortunately in our measurement no ethylene glycol could be verified. It is possible that overexpression of the other enzymes of the pathway is necessary for significant production in E. coli.
