The TPH1 gene encodes tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and the TDC1 gene encodes tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC). These two enzymes play a vital role in the production of 5-HT. Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) is the key enzyme, which can catalyze the conversion of tryptophan (an essential amino acid) to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Tryptophan hydroxylase (TDC) can remove the carboxyl group of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and convert it into serotonin (5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-HT) molecules. Serotonin can play a role in promoting intestinal motility, which is beneficial for improving constipation. |

Plam-TPH-TDC
Usage and Biology
To verify the feasibility of the metabolic module pathway, that is, the pathway for the production of sufficient tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) in engineered bacteria. Using components BBa_R0051, BBa_K4656002 and BBa_K4656006, we designed a gene route Plam-TPH1-TDC1-EGFP, then we cloned it into the target vector pET28a(+), and then transformed the engineered bacteria. The routes formed by these components can be used to verify the viability of metabolic modules. With untreated pET28a as the control group, we conducted experiments such as WB, fluorescence intensity (OD600) determination, gray value analysis, etc., to verify the feasibility of the metabolic module pathway.
Experimental results
We introduced the plasmid pet28a-plam-TDC-TPH into the receptive E. coli. The SDS-PAGE results showed that TDC and TPH were highly expressed by the engineered E. coli (Figure 1a,1b,1c), while the growth was unaffected compared to that of the empty-loading E. coli (Figure 1d).
