Poly P + AMP-> ADP

Basic Description

This plasmid is the expression vector of PAP gene(BBa_K5034212).

The basic part(BBa_K5034212) encodes the PAP gene which is initially from Acinetobacter johnsonii and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid. This part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion of inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The PAP enzyme plays a crucial role in phosphate and energy metabolism. PAP and PPK2 have strong PolyP utilization activity, and the activity of PAP is 20-fold higher than that in PPK1, even though the Km values for utilization of all three enzymes are almost the same. This implies that PAP and PPK2 work mainly for PolyP utilization in the cell. However, PAP has the same level of PolyP synthetic activity (Km and Vmax) as PPK1, and this suggests that PAP also works for PolyP synthesis at a significant level.

Origin (Organism)

The PAP gene was sourced from Acinetobacter johnsonii. The PYYDT plasmid backbone is a standard vector used for gene expression in synthetic biology applications.

Experimental Characterization and results

Using molybdate assays to determine Pi concentration and found that PAP do not have a good capacity to polymerise phosphorus (but better than PPN1 and PPX). 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. Conducting molybdate assays to determine Pi concentration and found that PAP do not have a good capacity to polymerize phosphorus (but better than PPN1 and PPX).

Usage and Biology

The PAP gene from Acinetobacter johnsonii is cloned into the PYYDT plasmid. This composite part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion of inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The PAP enzyme plays a crucial role in phosphate and energy metabolism.


Chassis and genetic

Chassis:Shewanella onediensis MR-1 The gene can be expressed and function properly in Shewanella.

Potential applications

PAP (polyphosphate:AMP phosphotransferase) has several potential applications:

  • Phosphate Metabolism: Key role in energy and phosphate metabolism studies.
  • Bioenergy Production: Enhances microbial electricity generation.
  • Industrial Biotechnology: Optimizes bioprocesses involving polyphosphate.
  • Microbial Metabolic Engineering: Improves microbial performance in synthetic biology.
  • Environmental Remediation: Aids in phosphate degradation to combat eutrophication.
