pTDH3-ShZPO-tTDH1-pPGK1-AtCPR1-tPGK1

In order to achieve enhanced effects, we aimed to produce 9HZ and 9H10epoZ also, which have better repellent effects than 7epiZ. Due to difficulties of expressing the oxidase and reductases in E. coli, we decide to change the chassis to S. cerevisiae. This part presents the collection of promoters, genes coding for the oxidase and reductase and terminator. This enzyme collection may provide future iGEM teams with an insight into the expression of an oxidase and a reductase in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract

ShZPO is a cytochrome P450 oxygenase found in Solanum habrochaites. It carries out two successive oxidations to generate two sesquiterpenes from a monocyclic sesquiterpene as the susbtrate. AtCPR1 is a cytochrome P450 reductase found in Arabidopsis thaliana. AtCPR1 is co-localized with ShZPO on the ER membrane, ensuring efficient electron transfer. We used pTDH3 and tTDH3 for the expression of ShZPO; pPGK1 and tPGK1 for the expression of AtCPR1.

Usage and Biology

ShZPO is a cytochrome P450 oxygenase found in Solanum habrochaites. It carries out two successive oxidations to generate two sesquiterpenes from a monocyclic sesquiterpene as the susbtrate. AtCPR1 is a cytochrome P450 reductase found in Arabidopsis thaliana. It contains two domains, one with binding sites for FAD, flavin adenine dinucleotide, and NADPH, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; the other with binding site for FMN, flavin mononucleotide. AtCPR1 functions through transferring electrons to ShZPO.

Characterization

After communication with Dr. Su from Earlham Institute, we opted for the yeast S. cerevisiae (strain CEN.PK2-1C).[figure 1] As an eukaryote with ER membranes, S. cerevisiae enables co-localization of the oxidase and reductases while also ensures efficient enzyme expression.

We inserted DNA fragments to site His of CEN.PK2-1C using lithium acetate transformation. Afterwards, yeast colony PCR was conducted, which shows the target strands were integrated into the genome successfully. The sequencing result also shows that the fragments are integrated into the yeast genome with no mutation. The constructed strains are named ShZPO-SlCPR2 and ShZPO-AtCPR1 respectively.[figure 2]

ShZPO-SlCPR2 and ShZPO-AtCPR1 were cocultured with pW1-ZIS-NPPS-Mvan4662+pMVA in E. coli strain DH5α respectively. Fermentation of the coculture was carried out, which is induced by IPTG and lasted 48 hours at 28°C 200 rpm using dodecane as solvent. After the products were collected and underwent GC-MS analysis, 9HZ, a mid-product of the redox reaction of 7epiZ to 9H10epoZ was detected from the co-culture using ShZPO-SlCPR2 only.[figure 3]
