Part:BBa_K2042000
Propionate CoA transferase for P. putida
This is an evolved coding sequence for the enzyme Propionate CoA transferase (Pct) EC 2.8.3.1. The wild type enzyme come from Clostridium propionicum and normally catalyzes the reaction: acetyl-CoA + propanoate <--> acetate + propanoyl- CoA. This mutated sequence has one amino acid substitution: A243T allowing lactate to act as acceptor and convert it efficiently to lactyl-CoA. Moreover, this sequence is codon optimized for Pseudomonas putida using Codon Optimization Tool from IDT in order to produce Polylactic acid (PLA).
This part can be considered as an improvement of the biobrick Clostridum propionicum propionate CoA transferase (BBa_K1211001): BBa_K1211001 is designed to work in Pseudomonas putida, one different amino acid substitution (A243T instead of V193A) where used, which also led to the increase of both polymer content and lactate mole fraction in the copolymer.
