We divided the synthesis pathway of heme into two parts, one is the synthesis pathway of heme premise ALA (upstream), and the other part is the synthesis pathway of ALA to heme (downstream).
 
For the upstream pathway, there were two pathways from glutamate to ALA, one was the C4 pathway and the other was the C5 pathway. The C4 pathway had been enhanced by the existing team, and the experimental results showed that the effect was not as good as the C5 pathway, so we chose the C5 pathway for modification. The C5 pathway had two key genes, one was <i>hemA</i> and the other was <i>hemL</i>. So we constructed plasmids containing hemA and hemL, and overexpressed them by transforming recombinant plasmids to <i>E. coli</i>.
 
The downstream pathway, that was, the synthesis pathway of heme, involved 7 genes, of which 4 genes (<i>hemB</i>, <i>hemD</i>, <i>hemC</i>, <i>hemH</i>) were more critical, according to the literature. Therefore, we also constructed and overexpressed plasmids containing <i>hemB</i> , <i> hemD</i>, <i>hemC</i> , and <i>hemH</i> .

Design Notes

We cloned nadK and pntAB genes to construct the plasmid pACYCDuet-pntAB-nadK.

Usage and Biology

P450 enzyme catalysis required redox partners to transfer NADPH electrons to heme to catalyze the substrate. The content of NADPH in E. coli cells was low, which can only meet its own growth needs. By constructing a cofactor circulatory system, the effect of NADPH on whole-cell activity was investigated. However, the cost of exogenous NADPH addition is higher and the catalytic efficiency is low. NAD+ kinase (NadK) and membrane-bound hydrogenase (PntAB) can be used to enhance the circulation of NADPH. Thus, 3 recombinant strains are constructed. The recombinant plasmid pACYCDuet-nadK is expressed in E. coli C1 (C2 strain). The recombinant plasmid pACYCDuet-pntAB (BBa_K4759269) was expressed in E. coli C1 (C3 strain). The recombinant plasmid pACYCDuet-pntAB-nadK(BBa_K4759271) was expressed in E. coli C1 (C4 strain). Without the addition of NADPH, the conversion rate of whole-cell catalysts prepared by the C4 strain was as high as 99.1%. Sequence and Features
