Basic Description

This composite part includes the PPK1 gene which is initially from Citrobacter freundii and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid with the BBa-B0032 RBS, which is a medium RBS compared to others. This composite part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion between inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). The PPK1 enzyme is known for its ability to synthesize PolyP from ATP and Pi and to degrade PolyP back to Pi, with a preference for the synthetic reaction, making it a versatile tool for managing phosphate metabolism in engineered systems.

Origin (Organism)

The PPK1 gene was sourced from Citrobacter freundii. The pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid backbone is a standard vector used for gene expression in synthetic biology applications.

Experimental Characterization and results

Alteration of protein expression intensity can regulate the metabolic networks, so we focused on RBS with varying translation strengths to facilitate the regulation of PPK1 concentration in S. oneidensis. to develop the best ability to produce electricity and polymerize phosphorus.

We conducted Pi content detection to determine Pi concentration and half-cell experiment to measure the electricity production ability, we found SPK1 with RBS BBa-B0034 has the greatest capacity to polymerize phosphorus but a worst electroproduction capability.
