This composite part includes the PPK1 gene which is initially from Citrobacter freundii and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid with the BBa-B0032 RBS, which is a medium RBS compared to others. This composite part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion between inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). The PPK1 enzyme is known for its ability to synthesize PolyP from ATP and Pi and to degrade PolyP back to Pi, with a preference for the synthetic reaction, making it a versatile tool for managing phosphate metabolism in engineered systems.In a sentence, this part is initiated by a medium promoter.It can reversibly convert Poly p and Pi. This reversible process favors the generation of Poly P.For the first time, we expressed this element in a strain of Shewanella and conducted codon optimization based on Shewanella.

PolyP <->Pi

Basic Description

This composite part includes the PPK1 gene which is initially from Citrobacter freundii and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid with the BBa-B0032 RBS, which is a medium RBS compared to others. This composite part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion between inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). The PPK1 enzyme is known for its ability to synthesize PolyP from ATP and Pi and to degrade PolyP back to Pi, with a preference for the synthetic reaction, making it a versatile tool for managing phosphate metabolism in engineered systems.In a sentence, this part is initiated by a medium promoter. It can reversibly convert PolyP and Pi. This reversible process favors the generation of PolyP.For the first time, we expressed this element in a strain of S. oneidensis. and conducted codon optimization based on S. oneidensis..

Promoter: Constitutive promoter for continuous expression. We used Lac promoter in our experiment.

RBS: Ribosome binding site for efficient translation. We used BBa-B0032 here.

PPK1 Coding Sequence: Encodes the polyphosphate kinase 1 enzyme.

Terminator: Efficient transcription terminator to ensure proper mRNA processing. We used rrnB T1 terminator and T7Te terminator in our experiment.

The basic structure of the part is shown as follows:

Origin (Organism)

The PPK1 gene was sourced from Citrobacter freundii.

Experimental Characterization and results

Alteration of protein expression intensity can regulate the metabolic networks, so we focused on RBS with varying translation strengths to facilitate the regulation of PPK1 concentration in S. oneidensis. to develop the best ability to produce electricity and polymerize phosphorus.

We conducted Pi content detection to determine Pi concentration and half-cell experiment to measure the electricity production ability, we found SPK2 with RBS BBa-B0032 has the medium capacity to polymerize phosphorus and a medium electroproduction capability.

Details of all experiments can be found in the Experiments section on the Wiki.

Chassis and genetic

Chassis：Shewanella onediensis MR-1

The gene can be expressed and function properly in S. oneidensis..

Potential applications

The PPK1 gene (polyphosphate kinase 1) has potential applications in:

Industrial Microbial Engineering: Enhances the production of biofuels, amino acids, or antibiotics by boosting polyphosphate synthesis in microorganisms.

Environmental Bioremediation: Assists in the accumulation of heavy metals or radioactive substances for pollution control.
