Apple fragrance generator

BBa_K395600 produce MpAAT1 enzyme that catalyzes production of 2-methylbutyl acetate and butyl acetate from 2-methylbutanol and butanol. 2-methylbutyl acetate and butyl acetate has a apple fragrance.

We designed apple fragrance expression device with MpAAT1^[1]. Fig. 1 shows the outline of the device. MpAAT1 converts substrate and Acetyl CoA into apple fragrance molecules.　Acetyl CoA exists originally in E.coli cell. MpAAT1 converts 2-methyl butanol and butanol into 2-methylbutyl acetate and butyl acetate respectively.

Fig. 1. Apple fragrance expression device.

We performed gas chromatography to confirm the production of the esters, and the results revealed that MpAAT1 successfully converted alcohol and Acetyl CoA into our target esters (Fig. 2).

+We designed apple fragrance expression device with MpAAT1<sup>[[media:リンゴのにおい.pdf|[1]]]</sup>. Fig. 1 shows the outline of the device.

+We performed gas chromatography to confirm the production of the esters, and the results revealed that MpAAT1 successfully converted alcohol and Acetyl CoA into our target esters (Fig. 2).
-Butanol (final 0.4%)
--methyl butanol (final 0.2%)

-mM IPTG (final 100 μM)
-% arabinose (final 0.1%)
-Internal standard solution<br/>
-Undecane solution: undecane 10 μL + ether 990 μL
-MpAAT1 expression vector<br/>
-The coding sequence of MpAAT1 gene was synthesized and optimized sequence by Mr.Gene.
-This artificial gene was ligated into vector pSB6A1 as MpAAT1 expression vector.
-Moreover, we introduced pTrx6 into this expression plasmid to stabilize the MpAAT1 gene product.
-MpAAT1 over expression conditions<br/>
-Artificial gene has T7 promoter on the upstream of MpAAT1.
-This promoter works by taking over T7 RNA polymerase from E. coli.
-Therefore we utilized E. coli BL21 (DE3) which has T7 RNA polymerase.
-Furthermore, arabinose was added in culture to induce Trx which has arabinose-induced promoter.
-Cultivation <br/>
-In order to express MpAAT1 and Trx in E. coli BL21 (DE3), we added 3 μL of 100 mM IPTG and 15 μL of 20% arabinose in 3ml LB culture.
-Expression of MpAAT1 recombinant protein in E. coli
-The cells were grown over night. The microbial solution was diluted 100-folds and grown for 2 hours in a fresh culture. After grown until the O.D. becomes 0.1, substrate and antibiotic, and inducer were added into the culture. This was grown overnight again. After the incubation, we centrifuged the solution (7000 × g, 3 min) and collected the supernatant. Then, ether was used to separate oil through liquid-liquid solution. (shake supernatant solution 0.5 mL, with ether 0.5 mL and undecane solution). Finally, the oil layer was collected and analyzed by gas chromatography.
