Precursor Circuit -- a series of enzymes used for GPP production

This circuit contains eight enzymes in plant's MVA pathway to produce geranyl pyrophosphate(GPP),a precursor to various metabolites unique in plants like linalool and limonene. All of the genes in this circuit are inducible by IPTG since all of them are under control of Ptrc or Plac.

Characterization

Background

In our study, we aim to achieve limonene and linalool synthesis in E.coli DH5α. According to 2018 GreatBay_China team’s experience, no target product was detected using gas chromatography when carrying out shake-flask fermentation with this strain induced by 25uM IPTG for 24 hours due to the lack of endogenous MVA pathways wherein GPP is produced. Thus we decided to co-express an MVA pathway. 2018 GreatBay_China generously gave us one plasmid pJBEI6409, which contains a MVA pathway in addition to an GPPs-LS operon. We reconstructed this plasmid and get a plasmid only contains a MVA pathway.

Figure 2: GPP production and synthesis of linalool and limonene

We have used MVA synthesis pathway which is common in plants. Since limonene and linalool have the same synthetic precursor GPP, we have divided the synthesis pathway into two parts:

1. (BBa_K3052001) IPTG inducible precursor circuit which contains eight enzymes of MVA pathway enable conversion from AcCoA to GPP: atoB, HMGS, HMGR, MK, PMK, PMD, idi, trGPPs.

2. (BBa_K3052004, BBa_K3052010) two Production Circuits: limonene synthase or linalool synthase regulated by a ptrc promoter in E. coli.


Results

For validation of these parts, we did both RT-PCR and SDS-PAGE to detect the expression, Gas Chromatography to detect limonene and linalool production. Click to see our [http://2019.igem.org/Team:XJTU-CHINA protocol].
