PPK2

Basic Description:
 +
This basic part encodes the PPK2 gene which is initially from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the PYYDT plasmid. The PPK2 enzyme facilitates the reversible conversion between inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), playing a crucial role in phosphate metabolism. It distinguished from PPK1 by the following: synthesis of poly P from GTP or ATP, a preference for Mn2+ over Mg2+, and a stimulation by Poly P. The forward reaction, a poly P-driven nucleoside diphosphate kinase synthesis of GTP from GDP, is 75-fold greater than the reverse reaction, Poly P synthesis from GTP.

In our team’s previous research we found that the behavior of the modified Shewanella did not reach our expectation and the electron microscopic observation also showed an abnormal morphology of the bacterium, we postulated that too much PPK1 may lead to an abnormal charge distribution in the bacterium thus result in a decrease in the bacterium's activity and a reduction in its capacity for electricity production, so we planed to improve the situation by introducing different polyphosphate hydrolases which influence the phosphorus metabolism of Shewanella.

Electricity production: Using half-cell reaction(electrochemistry) to measure the electricity production ability.
 +
Capacity to polymerize phosphorus: Conducting molybdate assays to determine Pi concentration.
 +
The expression of hydrolase PPK2 showed relatively high phosphorus accumulation and electricity generation ability. Also, the ATP level is considerably enhanced.

PolyP <->Pi

It can reversibly convert Poly p and Pi. For the first time, we expressed this element in a strain of Shewanella and conducted codon optimization based on Shewanella.
