RBS-GAD-6xHis-Terminator

This part consists of B0034 RBS, human glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) gene with C-terminal His tag, and B0015 terminator.

Usage and Biology

GABA is synthesized from glutamate in the reaction catalyzed by L-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) catalyzes decarboxylation of glutamate to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). We have created the device for overexpression of GAD and we suggest to investigate the therapeutic potential of administration of GABA-overexpressing probiotics to patients with decreased GABA levels.

GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and decreased GABA levels have been linked to depression and anxiety [1]. Several species of gut bacteria have been shown to produce GABA [2] and metabolomics analysis has shown that the gut luminal GABA levels in ex-germfree mice are considerably higher than those observed in germfree mice [3] . The role of microbiota-derived GABA in gut-brain signalling can be supported by the presence of GABA receptors in gut epithelial cells [4].

The positive effects of GABA-producing species in the gut on the emotional behaviour of the host have been previously documented. In one study, administration of milk enriched in GABA-producing Lactobacillus brevis FPA 3709 had antidepressant effect on mice [5]. Another study has shown that ingestion of Lactobacillus rhamnosus alters GABA mRNA expression in the host's brain and reduces the stress-induced and depression-related behaviour [6].
