T. reesei EGII expression construct with gibson homology sequences and FLAG tag

Usage and Biology

Fully functional cellulase is composed of:

  1. Endoglucanases (EG) which randomly cleave internal beta-bonds of cellulose polymers to make them shorter
  2. Cellobiohydrolases (CBH or exoglucanases) which cleave the shorter polymers to make cellobiose
    • CBHI= Acts on reducing end of sugar molecule
    • CBHII= Acts on non-reducing end of sugar molecule
  3. Beta-glucosidases (BGS) which cleave the cellobiose disaccharide to free glucose units

These proteins must be in the correct proportions to each other to efficiently degrade cellulose.

This expression construct can be used in the assembly of a EG gene cassette containing Modified TrEGI (BBa_K3629016) and TrEGII (BBa_K3629017). This gene cassette is then intended to be transformed into Y. lipolytica to create a EG- producing strain. This strain should then be co-cultured with two other strains with either a CBH or BGS gene cassette. The three strains together will be able to survive on cellulose media.

Design

The native signal peptide from T. reesei was removed so it would not interfere with the fused XRP2 secretion tag native to Y. lipolytica.

    COMPATIBLE WITH RFC[1000]

There is an EcoRI site within the XRP2 terminator, and an SpeI site within the EXP promoter making this part RFC10 incompatible. However, we added the BioBrick prefix and suffix so that the other enzymes (NotI, XbaI, and PstI) could be used to clone this part into an iGEM plasmid or another plasmid. This part can also be cloned through RFC1000 assembly.
