POR gene for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick)

This basic part contains the coding sequence of the POR (B3-B4). This part is codon-optimized for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and was built as part of the CYPurify Collection. In combination with a promoter like AβSAP(i) (BBa_K4806013) and a terminator like tRPL23 (BBa_K3002006)*, this level 0 part leads to expression of the POR. To detect the target protein a tag like HA-tag (BBa_K3002017)* is recommended.


Constructs

Fig.1 Construct design
We designed 7 level 2 constructs containing CYP3A4 using the modular cloning system (MoClo).


Here are the links to the built constructs:

  • 1. The POR gene with FLAG-tag for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806210)
  • 2. The POR gene with HA-tag for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806209)
  • 3. The POR gene with mStop for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806211)
  • 4. The POR gene with mNeonGreen for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806213)
  • 5. The POR gene for expression in the chloroplast for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806212)
  • 6. CYP3A4 tandem for expression together with the POR for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806214)
  • 7. CYP2D6 tandem for expression together with the POR for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Phytobrick) (BBa_K4806215)

These constructs were transformed into Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Besides the POR coding sequence the constructs contain either the AβSAP(i)-promotor (BBa_K4806013) or the PSAD-promotor (BBa_K4806010),either the FLAG-tag (BBa_K4806012), the HA-tag (BBa_K3002017)* or mNeonGreen (BBa_K4806006) for detection or mStop (BBa_K4806009) and the tRPL23-terminator (BBa_K3002006)*. Additionally, one construct contains the CTPPSAD transit peptide to the chloroplast (BBa_K4806014). The resistance cassette for spectinomycin or hygromycin is already built in the level 2 vector pMBS807 we are using (exept for the tandem construct). The usage of this vector allows the direct assembly of level 0 parts to level 2 constructs, facilitating the cloning time (Niemeyer & Schroda, 2022).

The CYurify Collection

The world is at a crossroad. We must decide now how we want to continue living in order to survive. To contribute to this cause, we proudly present our CYPURIFY Collection for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The contamination of our water with toxic substances is on the rise, damaging ecosystems and eventually impacting us humans. We see it as our duty to take action.

To accomplish this, we designed 23 level 0, 9 level 1 and 24 level 2 parts for bioremediation of toxic wastewater using Modular Cloning. At heart of this collection are the Cytochrome P450 enzymes. Some of these monooxygenases are already used in synthesis or in medicine. We aimed to take a further step in research by expressing these enzymes in Chlamydomonas for the first time.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is the perfect fit for our system as a phototrophic organism with cost-effective and sustainable cultivation. Additionally, this organism is well-studied and easy to transform. We have access to a vast library of preexisting parts, all compatible with Modular Cloning.

Modular Cloning is a cloning method based on the Golden Gate System. What makes it unique is the ability to assemble entire genes in a single reaction. This is made possible by using type IIS restriction enzymes, which cut outside their recognition sequence, effectively removing it after ligation into the target vector. Therefore, the reaction proceeds in a specific direction. The parts are divided into level 0,1 and 2. Level 0 parts are basic components such as promotors, terminators or tags. Level 1 parts are combinations of these level 0 parts, forming transcriptional units. Level 2 parts are combinations of level 1 parts, allowing the expression of multiple genes simultaneously. Level 0 parts are assigned one of 10 positions, with standardized overhangs between them, enabling the exchange of parts between laboratories.

With our collection, we aim to contribute to environmental protection. This collection is infinitely expandable with new CYPs that can degrade other toxic substances. So, what are you waiting for?
