This protein also works with both PelB(BBa_K3349001) and Pnl(BBa_K3349001) in this organism to effectively break down pectin. PelC has an optimal activity at 55°C and a pH of 10. The Km in in terms of 80% methylated substrates is 0.41 +/-0.06mg/ml. Calcium is a cofactor for this protein and is therefore necessary within the buffer conditions [1].

Pectin Lyase PelC

The PelC Pectin Lyase is originally from Paenabacillus amylolyticus. This particular pectin lyase is more specific to methylated pectin or homogalacturonan substrates rather than polygalacturonic acid [1]. This protein also works with both PelB (BBa_K3349001) and Pnl (BBa_K3349001) in this organism to effectively break down pectin. PelC has an optimal activity at 55°C and a pH of 10. The Km in terms of 80% methylated substrates was determined to be 0.41 +/-0.06mg/ml. Calcium is a cofactor for this protein and is therefore necessary within the buffer conditions [1].

For purification purposes, this gene has a C-terminal hexa-histidine tag. For more information on our design and use please see our webpage https://2020.igem.org/Team:Lethbridge_HS.


In the beginning of our project we decided to do homology modelling of our pectin lyase enzymes in order to inform our thermostability modelling.

For wetlab results we were able to start preparing for subcloning our parts into pSB1C3. The following Figure shows our digestion of the genes from pUC57-Kan using EcoRI and PstI.
