Cell Surface Display of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Depolymerase and its Application.

ABSTRACT: We have expressed extracellular poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerase of Ralstonia pickettii T1 on the Escherichia coli surface using Pseudomonas OprF protein as a fusion partner by C-terminal deletion-fusion strategy. Surface display of depolymerase was confirmed by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy and whole cell hydrolase activity. For the application, depolymerase was used as an immobilized catalyst of enantioselective hydrolysis reaction for the first time. After 48 h, (R)-methyl mandelate was completely hydrolyzed, and (S)-mandelic acid was produced with over 99% enantiomeric excess. Our findings suggest that surface displayed depolymerase on E. coli can be used as an enantioselective biocatalyst.

Project description:BackgroundDue to various environmental problems, biodegradable polymers such as poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) have gained much attention in recent years. Purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria have various attractive characteristics useful for environmentally harmless PHB production. However, production of PHB by PNS bacteria using genetic engineering has never been reported. This study is the first report of a genetically engineered PNS bacterial strain with a high PHB production.ResultsWe constructed a poly (3-hydroxyalkanoate) depolymerase (phaZ) gene-disrupted Rhodobacter sphaeroides HJ strain. This R. sphaeroides HJΔphaZ (pLP-1.2) strain showed about 2.9-fold higher volumetric PHB production than that of the parent HJ (pLP-1.2) strain after 5 days of culture. The HJΔphaZ strain was further improved for PHB production by constructing strains overexpressing each of the eight genes including those newly found and annotated as PHB biosynthesis genes in the KEGG GENES Database. Among these constructed strains, all of gene products exhibited annotated enzyme activities in the recombinant strain cells, and HJΔphaZ (phaA3), HJΔphaZ (phaB2), and HJΔphaZ (phaC1) showed about 1.1-, 1.1-, and 1.2-fold higher volumetric PHB production than that of the parent HJΔphaZ (pLP-1.2) strain. Furthermore, we constructed a strain that simultaneously overexpresses all three phaA3, phaB2, and phaC1 genes; this HJΔphaZ (phaA3/phaB2/phaC1) strain showed about 1.7- to 3.9-fold higher volumetric PHB production (without ammonium sulfate; 1.88 ± 0.08 g l-1 and with 100 mM ammonium sulfate; 0.99 ± 0.05 g l-1) than those of the parent HJ (pLP-1.2) strain grown under nitrogen limited and rich conditions, respectively.ConclusionIn this study, we identified eight different genes involved in PHB biosynthesis in the genome of R. sphaeroides 2.4.1, and revealed that their overexpression increased PHB accumulation in an R. sphaeroides HJ strain. In addition, we demonstrated the effectiveness of a phaZ disruption for high PHB accumulation, especially under nitrogen rich conditions. Furthermore, we showed that PNS bacteria may have some unidentified genes involved in poly (3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA) biosynthesis. Our findings could lead to further improvement of environmentally harmless PHA production techniques using PNS bacteria.
