PgsA-MlrA fusion protein
Sequence and Features
This fusion protein aims to anchor MlrA, or microcystinase, an enzyme capable of degrading freshwater toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) to the outer membrane of E. coli . This part puts together a codon-optimized subunit of PgsA (poly-γ-glutamic acid synthetase) (BBa_K2963020), an anchoring motif to MlrA with 6x His (BBa_K1907002), with a 2 amino acid Gly-Ser linker (BBa_J18920). The addition of the His tag to MlrA gives this part the ability to be purified using Nickel affinity chromatography and detected using Western blotting with anti-His antibodies. This BioBrick was put under the control of an IPTG inducible ptac promoter (BBa_K3802001), as using a constitutive promoter could potentially lead to the depletion of resources for the bacteria.

Usage and Biology
Our project aims to develop a novel MC-LR degradation solution by utilizing recombinant E. coli that heterologously over-express MlrA, an enzyme known to degrade MC-LR in the native Sphingomonas sp [1]. This composite part aimed to improve upon previous systems of MC-LR detection by creating a method where this toxin could be degraded in the outer membrane of E.coli . The advantage of this system is that MC-LR does not have to be transported into the cytosol of E. coli for degradation, but rather can be directly broken down if MC-LR is within proximity of E. coli.
This fusion protein links MlrA with the gene for PgsA (poly-γ-glutamate synthetase A), a protein natively found in Bacillus subtilis [2] Though past iGEM teams such as JNU- China from 2019 have genetically engineered Corynebacterium glutamicium to produce PgsA for various applications such as food additives, anti-freeze, protective antigen coupling, PgsA can also act as an anchoring motif. This protein has been used to successfully and heterologously express enzymes and proteins such as α-amylase, lipase B, Laccase COTA, and VP2--an antigen for IBDV virus in chickens [5][3][4].
