Usage and Biology
Creatinine is a urinary human waste, rich in carbon and nitrogen. During recent years countless research has been done on the topic of waste-upcycling and revalorization. Creatinine is one of the few human waste products still to be valorized during space missions. In our project, we wanted to use it as carbon and nitrogen source to support the growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens, which serves as biostimulant for plant. Certain species of Pseudomonas, such as Pseudomonas putida can degrade creatinine and use it as carbon and nitrogen sources to ensure its growth. There is no bibliography on this pathway being present in P. fluorescens. The two enzymes permitting creatinine metabolization are creatinine amidohydrolase (CrnA, EC 3.5.2.10) and creatinase (CreA, EC 3.5.3.3), both expressed in the same operon. The first catalyzes the hydrolysis of creatinine into creatine. Then, the creatinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of creatine into sarcosine and urea. Finally, in P. putida, sarcosine is degraded by a sarcosine oxidase to join the glycine metabolism (Figure 1).
Sequence and Features
The part BBa_K5108009 permits the utilization of creatinine as sole carbon and nitrogen sources to ensure the growth of P. fluorescens. This part is composed of the creatinase and creatinine amidohydrolase ORFs (creA BBa_K5108003, crnA BBa_K5108004) keeping the natural order from P. putida, and two RBS (BBa_K5108006, BBa_K5108007) allowing their expression in P. fluorescens. This part was expressed under the Pm promoter control into the pSEVA438-Ptet vector (Figure 2). The constitutive repression by the XylS is lifted by the m-toluic acid. We demonstrated efficient enzyme activity to support P. fluorescens growth.
To create the functional vector containing the creA-crnA operon, the cloning of the creA-crnA synthetized gBlocks into the pSEVA438-Ptet linearized vector was performed following In-Fusion Assembly. Figure 3 demonstrates the successful cloning by restriction digest with EcoRI and HindIII enzymes (New England Biolabs R3101S, R3104S) (Figure 3). The construct was confirmed by Sanger sequencing (GENEWYZ, Figure 4).
