7-Hydroxymethyl Chlorophyll A Reductase (7-HCAR)


Usage and Biology

7-Hydroxymethyl chlorophyll a reductase (7-HCAR) is a naturally occurring plant enzyme prominent in the chlorophyll degradation pathway. 7-HCAR and cofactor Ferredoxinreduced catalyze the conversion of 7-Hydroxymethyl Chlorophyll a to Chlorophyll a (Meguro et al. 2011).

BBa_K3114009 is a golden gate compatible part which allows insertion of the gene encoding 7-HCAR into genetic circuits to express the enzyme. In creating this part, iGEM Calgary wished to allow the golden gate cloning of this plant enzyme into E.coli for other teams to use in projects involving degradation of chlorophyll. This part was designed to be golden-gate compatible based on the Mo-Clo standard (Weber et al., 2011). It is also compatible with the BioBrick RFC[10] standard.

This part is compatible with other golden gate parts created by iGEM Calgary including the following:


His Tag Purification

Meguro et al. 2011 purified 7-HCAR using a his-tag/nickel column, but the recombinant protein did not exhibit enzymatic activity. The authors conjectured that the "His tag at the N terminus disturbed the HCAR activity" (Meguro et al. 2011).

The 2019 Calgary iGEM team set out to get around this problem. The team modelled the electrostatic interactions of 7-HCAR and discovered that 7-HCAR has a highly electronegative core, which is likely interfering with the positively charged His tag. iGEM Calgary developed a universal spacer sequence (https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K3114014) which permitted successful His tag purification.
