Blue-pigment indigoidine synthetase gene from Streptomyces lavendulae

Description

BpsA stands for the blue-pigment indigoidine synthetase gene,encoded by a single module-type nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS).It can synthesize two molecules of glutamine into one molecule of indigo.Itself is derived from Streptomyces lavendulae.

Corynebacterium glutamicum is the ideal host for the expression of bpsA for high indigo production,because it carries strong fluxes for the biosynthesis of L-glutamate, a precursor of L-glutamine.Meanwhile,C. glutamate also has the native pcpS gene,which expresses PPTase(4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase).The PPTase is of great significance becsause it mediates the activation of the apo-form of BpsA into its active holo-form by adding coenzyme A to the peptide carrier domain (PCP).

In this project first we will obtain indigoidine,5,5-diamino-4,4-dihydroxy-3,3-diazadiphenoquinone-(2,2), by introducing pEKEX2 plasmid backbone, which is ligated with bpsA into C. glutamicumwe. Furthermore, we will optimize Komagataeibacter xylinus and introducing PSB1A2 plasmid backbone with bpsA and pcpS to obtain indigo for one-step synthesis of colored fibers, and also codon optimize the bpsA coding sequence to meet our needs.

Experiment

Expression of indigo in Corynebacterium glutamicum

We successfully expressed bpsA in Corynebacterium glutamicum. As shown below, the right conical flask shows the fermentation results after introducing empty PEKEX2 into the C. glutamicum, whereas the left conical flask shows the fermentation results of indigo production after introducing bpsA plasmid into C.glutamicum.Obviously,the left one express bpsA successfully with fully blue in the fermentation broth.

Below is a diagram of Thomas Brilliant Blue staining of Corynebacterium glutamicum. From left to right, the first lane is the whole cell lysate of Valley Stick, the second lane is the whole cell lysate after introduction of the plasmid, the third lane is the supernatant of wild-type C. glutamicum, and the fourth lane is the supernatant after introduction of the plasmid. It indicates that bpsA successfully expressed indigo after introduction of the plasmid.

Co-culturing

In order to pave the way for the subsequent one-step production of colored fibers by expressing bpsA directly in K.xylinus, we first started with a co-culture of K. xylinus with C. glutamicum as a way to further explore the way indigo binds to bacterial cellulose as well as the physical and chemical properties. The reason we choose K.xylinus is because it is one of the high cellulose-producing strains of bacteria.Unfortunately, we were not able to obtain colored membrane BC first, but rather colored granular bacterial cellulose.In subsequent experiments, we tried to change the culture conditions by adopting the use of static culture to obtain membranous colored fiber membrane

Expression of bpsA in K. xylinus

With previous basic explorations, we will use a wood vinegar compatible PSB1A2 plasmid backbone, ligated with promoters such as strong promoters (J23104, J23102, etc.), and bpsA sequences to try to express bpsA in K. xylinus while binding to bacterial cellulose membranes.
