Part:BBa_K3332024

phnJ

Subunit Subunit of C-P lyase, which can degrade the glyphosate, from Enterobacterales. This subunit is essential to the activity of the whole enzyme.Use K823004 to construct a new part that can improve the capability of chassis bacteria to degrade glyphosate.

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 strong promoter (BBa_J23100) and the parts (RBS-phnJ-Terminator) 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

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