Systematic engineering of phytochelatin synthesis and arsenic transport for enhanced arsenic accumulation in E. coli

Abstract: Phytochelatin (PC) is a naturally occurring peptide with high affinity towards arsenic (As). In this article, we demonstrated the systematic engineering of PC-producing E. coli for As accumulation by addressing different bottlenecks in PC synthesis as well as As transport. Phytochelatin synthase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe (SpPCS) was expressed in E. coli resulting in 18 times higher As accumulation. PC production was further increased by co-expressing a feedback desensitized gamma-glutamylcysteine syntheta… Show more

“…Microorganismos como E. coli o S. cerevisiae modificados geneticamente con capacidad de producir péptidos de unión a metales, como las PCs de A. thaliana, S. pombe o Nicotiana tabacum, han sido utilizados para este propósito con diferentes grados de éxito (Sauge-Merle et al, 2003;Singh et al, 2008a;Singh et al, 2010). Recientemente se ha realizado la expresión del gen que codifica para la PCS de S. pombe en una cepa de E. coli carente de la bomba de salida de As(III).…”

“…En ese mutante también se sobreexpresó la enzima γglutamilcisteina sintetasa (GshI) de E. coli y el transportador de As(III) EcGlpF . La cepa resultante es capaz de acumular 16,8 µmol de As por gramo de peso seco, 80 veces más la cantidad de As que la cepa sin PCs (Singh et al, 2010).…”
