N20bglΧ GB compatible with B3-B5

This is the E. coli β-glucosidase gene bglX with N20 signal peptide instead of its native signal peptide. It is based upon BBa_K523002.

Usage and Biology

Bglx belongs to the family of β-D-Glucosidases. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of cellobiose (1,4-β-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucopyranose) into two molecules of glucose. The bgIX gene is located adjacent to the dld gene at 47.8 min or 2225 kb on the E. coli chromosome. The presence of a 20 amino acids signal peptide (at the N-terminal) is consistent with the periplasmic location of the mature protein. The replacement of native signal peptide with N20- signal peptide is expected to make the mature protein an extracellular product.

Design Notes

In order to construct this part, we replaced the native signal peptide with the N20 signal peptide sequence which is: 5’-atggaaggcaacacccgcgaagataactttaaacatctgctgggcaacgataacgtgaaacgcccgagcgaagcg-3’. The coding sequence was domesticated. We removed BsmBI, BsaI, BtgZI, BpiI sites in order to be compatible with GoldenBraid and MoClo. The sequence is present in pUPD2 BBa_K3505007 and has overhangs compatible for GoldenBraid cloning. The CDS has position B3-B5.

Experimental Use and Experience

Conclusion

N20-bglX bacteria grow more and faster than the SP-bglX and EMPTY bacteria in a 24-hour time-frame and with cellobiose as the only carbon resource. The engineered enzyme provides an advantage in situations where cellobiose is the only abundant carbon source. Also, N20-bglX bacteria reach an exponential-like phase much quicker than the native peptide or the empty vector control bacteria, which means quicker valorization cellobiose and update of glucose by the cell.
