MysC codon optimized contributed by Fudan iGEM 2023

Introduction

An ATP-grasp enzyme MysC converts 4-DG to mycosporineglysine (MG) by introducing L-Glycine to 4-DG at C3[1].

Usage and Biology

We performed codon optimization on BBa_K4273008 specifically for the Escherichia coli K12 strain, resulting in the creation of this part. The enzyme MysC catalyzes the third reaction involved in the biosynthesis of Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) within E. coli.

Characterization

Anti-UV Survival Assay

We employed the Colony-Forming Unit (CFU) assay. After plasmid transformation and plating, we shielded one/half of the agar plate from UV light using a black cloth, while the other one/half was exposed to UV irradiation (6W power) with wavelengths of 254 nm and 365 nm for 10 seconds.

Our experiments demonstrated that introducing three or four of the five enzymes from the MAA biosynthetic pathway into E. coli did not yield a significant enhancement in the bacterium's UV resistance. We postulate that this lack of effect may arise from two factors: Firstly, the synthetic pathway may not play a pivotal role amidst the numerous routes involved in MAA synthesis. Secondly, to augment MAA levels within E. coli through protein expression in the pathway, additional substrates like ATP and amino acids would likely be required in the reaction.
