pKARA_RT3 styrene monooxigenase
Introduction
Vilnius Lithuania iGEM 2023 team's goal was to create a universal synthetic biology system in Komagataeibacter xylinus for in vivo bacterial cellulose polymer composition modification. As a second approach, we designed indigo-dyed cellulose that could be used as a green chemistry way to apply cellulose in the textile industry.
Colorful cellulose was made by introducing styrene monooxygenase pKARA_RT3 BBa_K4719018 to K. xylinus. This enzyme can metabolize indigo and its other derivatives into indigo dyes. Bacteria produce cellulose alongside pigments. Since they are not water soluble, the final product retains the color.
Usage and Biology
pKARA_RT3 is styrene monooxygenase. Styrene monooxygenases belong to oxidoreductases, specifically to an enzyme class 1.14.14-, which act on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, which is donated by reduced flavin or flavoprotein. Styrene monooxygenases have been shown to produce indigo - a blue dye (1).
