Acetate production construct

Usage and Biology

2 Trancription Units

• AckA BBa_K3866006 and PtaBBa_BBa_K3866006regulated by arabinose inducible promoter araBAD for the prduction of Acetate

Design Notes

The coding sequence was domesticated . We removed BsmBI and BsaI sites in order to be compatible with GoldenBraid and MoClo. The sequence is cloned in seva omega1R vectorBBa_K3505010 and has overhangs compatible for GoldenBraid cloning.

Verification of Cloning

Experimental Use and Experience

Before we start producing SCFAs, we needed to optimize our protein expression system.

Fig.3::SDS page (L=Lysate S=Souble I=Insoluble)(0%, 0,1%, 1% L-arabinose inducer) Expected bands:Pta 77,2 kDa and AckA 43,7 kDa

The enzymes are expressed in high levels. Even at induction with really low concentration 0,1% L-arabinose we observe that the enzyme is present in every collumn. There is a lot enzyme at the insoluble where it shouldn't be. So we must lower the protein production. This can be acheived by lowering the induction from L-arabinose, use a less powerfull promoter and less strong RBS.
