P-ss-PETase-V5tag-Anchor protein 5105-T

The composite Part is used to express PETase. SS secretes PETase out of the cell, while anchor protein 5105 anchor it on the cell surface. This part is based on BBa_K3829011, replacing GFP with PETase.

Characterization

Anchor proteins 5105 was screened by model prediction and yeGFP characterization. We then used it for the following experiment. On the basis of BBa_K3829011, we replaced PETase with yeGFP to obtain the composite parts BBa_K3829012.


Fig.1 The structure of the gene circuit.

The overall enzyme activity of PETase was measured. Since PETase could also catalyze substrates into p-nitrophenol, a crude test was carried out to show the enzyme activity at different temperatures. The results showed that PET-4609 and 5105 performed better than the wild type ATCC20336 and cytPET (Figure 2).


Fig.2 Determination of enzyme activity of PETase.

It was acknowledged that PETase was able to degrade PET into TPA and MHET. According to the HPLC detection results, the product content of the degraded PET powder of each strain were plotted (Figure 3). It was demonstrated that target products were not detected in the group of ATCC 20336. Compared with the control strain, degradation products were obviously presented in the strain PET-4609 and PET-5105, indicating PETase was displayed on the surface of Candida tropicalis with high enzyme activity. However, several products were detected in the strain cytPET which should not be detected theoretically. It was speculated that a part of PETase was released due to the lysis of cells.
