Butyryl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase
Usage & Biology
This basic part consists of a coding region ( ButCoAT ) and enables E.coli to secrete ButCoAT.
ButCoAT is an enzyme (Butyryl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase) (EC 2.8.3.8) (Uniprot:C7GB37) which converts Acetyl-CoA (Acetyl-CoA is readily present in the cytosol and it can be directly converted into Butyrate) into Butyrate and can be found in Roseburia intestinalis L1-82. The equation of the reaction (acyl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase) is given down below :

Figure 2: Crystal Structures of Acetobacter aceti Succinyl (Butyryl)-CoA:Acetate CoA-Transferase Reveal Specificity Determinants and Illustrate the Mechanism Used by Class I CoA-Transferases.(Mullins, E.A. et al., 2012)
Our protein coding region (ButCoaT)is digested from our whole construct with the enzymes PstI and Xbal.
Gel Results
We have loaded an uncut version of K2052015 next to an EcoRI single digested one. In the third lane ButCoat (K2052018) was loaded with its single digested version. Digested ones gave a sharp lane at 3600 bp as we expected.
Characterization
Ligated Parts Transformation Results
Figure 4. After ligating ButcoaT and RFP, we have obtain colonies 2:1 (insert:vector) ratio, and transform them into E.coli BL21.
Confirmational PCR Result
Figure 5. Constitutive promoter-RBS-ButCoaT-GFP-Double terminator cloned into pSB1C3 and after ligation we have transformed into E.coli BL21. Colony PCR results here you can see; one primer stick on insert and another stick on vector. The expected lenght of product is around 850 bp.
Flowcytometry Result
After checking with confirmational PCR we have tried to validate RFP fluoresence experimenttaly through Fluorescence Microscope, Here you can see the analysis.
Figure 6. After measuring RFP signals with channel FL3 we have obtained these graphs. Here again upper triplet stand for Mock(reference point) analysis that is the bacterial culture transformed with only ButCoaT. Middle triplet stand for only RFP expressed bacterial culture analysis which gave a peak that could be used as a control group. The bottom triplet was RFP tagged ButCoaT expressed bacterial group and as we have shown there is any signal depend on RFP activity.
Since ButCoAT was tagged with RFP, to test whether it is functional or not, we have used fluoresence microscopy technique to show its expression is properly done or not. However, because ButCoAT doesn’t have a stop codon at the end it fused with RFP and they both become unfunctional from this fusion. Therefore, we could not see any peak.
Modelling
