D-xylonic acid producing operon

D-Xylose is a monosaccharide belonging to the aldopentose family. It was recently shown that the D-xylose dehydrogenase xylB from Caulobacter crescentus can convert D-xylose to D-xylonolactone. This can react spontaneously or through the catalysation of xylC to D-xylonic acid.

In E. coli D-xylonic acid can further be metabolized to ethyleneglycol by the enzymes yjhG (BBa_K1602012), yagE (BBa_K1602011) and yqhD (BBa_K1602013) which are already present in this host. (1)

  • Figure 1 Sheme of the reactions catalyzed by xylB and xylC. The xylC reaction can also happen spontaneously but in a much lower speed. (2)



    • Usage

    This part is a composite of two coding genes with strong RBS (BBa_B0034). The transcription is controlled by a T7 promotor (BBa_I719005).

    We used this operon to investigate possible production of ethylene glycol in E. coli.
