Overview
This biobrick contains one gene from the photosystem II complex of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii - psbD. It is driven by a Plac promoter at the beginning of the sequence, with a RBS preceding the gene, and terminator sequence at the 3' end. The psbD gene that comprises this part encodes the D2 protein, which is one of the two proteins that comprise the Photosystem II reaction center core.
Biology & Literature
Hydrogenase 1 (Hyd1) is a gene which codes for a peptide containing 10 D-amino acids which has been known to induce cell autophagy resulting from an increase in reactive oxygen species and ATP depletion of the cell [1]. Hyd1 has also been known to help treat prostate cancer by preventing the adhesion of carcinomas to the epithelium lining of the digestive tract [2].
More specifically Hyd1 catalyses the oxidation of hydrogen in the anaerobic respiration of E.coli this done by working in parallel with Hyd 2 before fermentation is undertaken by Hyd3. Hyd1 is a membrane bound hydrogenase that facilitates the uptake of oxidated hydrogen gas [3]. The hya operon encodes the Hydrogenase peptide which is initiated under anaerobic conditions as well as acidic pH levels which signals that H+ must be facilitated to move from ICF to ECF and viceverser to maintain pH levels in E.coli [4].
