his-rhlA

Required for rhamnolipid surfactant production.


Biology

The RhlA comes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and is capable of competing with the enzymes of the type II fatty acid synthase (FASII) cycle for the β-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) pathway intermediates, therefore supplies the acyl moieties for rhamnolipid biosynthesis. RhlA has a greater affinity for 10-carbon substrates, and is the only enzyme required to generate the lipid component of rhamnolipid.¹

Usage

In order to obtain purified RhlA, we add a his-tag (6∗His) at the N-terminal of RhlA. We used BBa_K081005 to construct the expression system and obtained the composite BBa_K3739046, which is assembled on the expression vector pET-28a(+) by standard assembly. The constructed plasmid was transformed into Vibrio natriegens, then the positive transformants were selected by kanamycin and confirmed by colony PCR and sequencing.

Characterization

1. Agarose Gel Electrophoresis

After transferring the plasmid into Vibrio natriegens, colony PCR was used to certify the plasmid was correct. The expected result was obtained(1305bp).
