J23100-B0034-phnJ-B0015-J23100-RBS-phnE1-RBS-phnE2

Subunits of phosphonate ABC transporter, permease protein phnE, from S.meliloti 1021. We use BBa_ K823004 to construct a new part that can transport glyphosate to cytoplasm.

Biology

        Phn system is a gene cluster for organophosphorus transport and degradation in many microorganisms. Enterobacterales use phnHIJK genes to encode C-P lyase.PhnJ protein is an essential subunit that can crack C-P bond.

Usage

        We ligased the J23100-B0034-phnJ-B0015 (BBa_K3332024) and the part J23100-B0034-phnE₁-B0034-phnE₂(BBa_K3332067) on the expression vector pSB1C3 by standard assembly. Then the ligation mixture was transformed into E. coli DH5α & E. coli BL21(DE3), enabled the E. coli to degrade glyphosate at higher efficiency.

Characterization

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis

        After receiving the synthesized DNA, digestion was done to certify that the plasmid was correct, and the experimental results were shown in figure 1.

2. Enzyme activity

        We use Negative Control, experiment groups phnEE and phnEEJ to verify that phnJ can enhance the degradation of glyphosate by the chassis bacteria by our detection system. The phnJ-phnE1E2 gene cluster enhances the degration of glyphosate by the chassis bacteria compared to the blank control, but it has no difference with the phnE1E2 group, indicating that exogenous phnJ can’t bind to the endogenous PhnHIK well.

        The result is shown in Fig.2(Experiment groups in Fig.2
