Usage and Biology

The ppdAB-ygdB-ppdC operon encodes the four minor pilins. These minor pilins and their homologues in the family contain two conserved Cys pairs at similar positions. We used the ppd genes from the EHEC strain EDL933 as building blocks to reconstitute an artificial T4P assembly operon in non-pathogenic E.coli, DH5a. Neither deletion of ppdC nor overproduction of ppdABC results in defects in chemotais or flagellar motility. This gene is predicted to be an inner membrane protein.

Characterization

One of the possibilities that limit the pili yield could be the coupling of the genetic sequence of pili generator (BBa_K3552006 BBa_K3552007 and BBa_K3552008). When the genes in the clusters overlap each other and share a same sequence, it could be extremely inconvenient for us to modify the gene sequence such as RBSs (ribosomal binding sites) and conduct codon optimization for biosynthetic engineering purpose. In order to improve the yield of pili production, we designed and carried out experiments to decouple these gene clusters into singular genes with optimization of RBS in front of each gene. We suggest that the reassembled pili generator of decoupled gene segments would not decrease or might increase the pili productivity.

There are two steps in decoupling: 1) amplification of each genes; 2) codon optimization and point mutation. We first amplified all the 12 genes from the gene clusters. Then, we designed codon optimization to alter the RBS with a similar strength as the original one and carried out point mutations to eliminate the same sequence of two genes according to the design and therefore avoid the recombination of the genes back to the original form. In the design, we kept the beginning sequence of the later gene unchanged but altered the ending of the former gene. After every portions of the gene of generator was decoupled with targeting molecular masses, we reassembled all parts together directly to form a new plasmid with decoupled pili generator by using Gibson Assembly due to the time limitation. But the result of our Gibson Assembly is basically all negative. T--LINKS China--Fig decoupling.jpeg
