Synthesis

In trying to order this from IDT the genetic code was too complex and so we ran codon optimisation, the code included has been optimised for E. coli.

Function

The enzyme CocE catalyses the breakdown of cocaine into benzoate and ecgonine methyl ester [1]


The enzyme hydrolyzes cocaine to benzoate and ecgonine methyl ester, endowing the bacteria with the ability to utilize cocaine as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth, as this bacterium lives in the rhizosphere of coca plants. Also efficiently hydrolyzes cocaethylene, a more potent cocaine metabolite that has been observed in patients who concurrently abuse cocaine and alcohol.[2] Is able to prevent cocaine-induced convulsions and lethality in rat. The bacterial strain this enzyme originates from the rhizosphere of the coca plant (the plant that is used to produce cocaine).[3]

Properties

Cocaine Substrate Kinetics

kcat is 7.8 sec-1 KM=0.64 µM[4]

Cocaethylene Substrate Kinetics

kcat is 9.4 sec-1 KM=1.6 µM[5]

Other Details

Half Life (at 37°C = ~6 mins) [6]

pH dependence on cocE kinetics and stability.[7]
