ENGINEERING CO2-FIXING ESCHERICHIA COLI FOR HEXANOYL COENZYME A BIOSYNTHESIS THROUGH HETEROLOGOUS GENE EXPRESSION, GENE SILENCING AND TRANSCRIPTIONAL BIOCHEMICAL REPRESSION

Sustainably produced oleochemicals from microbial lipid metabolism are an attractive alternative to traditional industrial production that is using expensive or non-renewable feedstocks. Though, microbial chassis as cell factories for production of oleochemicals at high titer for commercial exploitation require biochemical and genetic manipulation towards specific gene programming. As such, Escherichia coli cells are the laboratory workhorse with significant importance in biotechnological development and are the prime microbial candidate to drive synthesis of valuable compounds. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate a novel metabolic system in Escherichia coli for controlled expression of specific genes encoding putative heterologous lipid-related enzymes and silencing native enzymes as wells as transcription factors to augment metabolic flow of specific pathways towards hexanoyl-CoA accumulation in the cell at commercial concentrations using a cheap feedstock. First, a CO2-fixing pathway was constructed in an Escherichia coli strain by introducing a donated expression cassette containing genes encoding two sequential cyanobacterial Calvin cycle enzymes; Rubisco (RBC)-encoding genes ( rbcL-rbcX-rbcS ), and phosphoribulokinase-encoding gene ( PRK ) and a cyanobacterial carbonic anhydrase (CA)-encoding genes ( ccaA ), mimicking cyanobacterial carbon concentrating mechanism. Second, a hexanoyl-CoA-producing pathway was incorporated by including an Arabidopsis thaliana acyl-lipid thioesterase 4-encoding gene ( ALT4 ) and acyl-activating enzyme-encoding gene ( AAE17 ). Next, an antisense RNA pathway was incorporated into the previously engineered strain to prevent the flow of the produced hexanoyl-CoA to β-oxidation and phospholipid synthesis. Three RNA-silencing sequences targeting Escherichia coli anaerobic acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-encoding gene ( Ydio ), aerobic acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-encoding gene ( FadE ) and fused 2-acylglycerophospho-ethanolamine acyltransferase/acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase-encoding gene ( aas ) were incorporated. Finally, DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator-encoding gene ( FadR ) targeting β-oxidation repression was incorporated. Markedly, the engineered Escherichia coli productivity of hexanoyl‑CoA was 100% increase over wildtype. This multi-gene transformation system is the first report in increasing hexanoyl-CoA through controlling simultaneously fatty acid biosynthesis and β-oxidation, utilizing simple RNA silencing and transcriptional repression technology in Escherichia coli cells.

Outstanding Senior Spotlight: Jared Ura

• by College of Engineering Communications
• June 07, 2024

Jared Ura was inspired to major in materials science and engineering at the University of California, Davis, by his grandfather, who was also an engineer.   

“He sparked my interest in chemistry and physics at a young age, and I was always in awe of how he understood the world around him at a fundamental level,” Ura said. “He taught me how to dig deeper and understand topics in full, which continues to guide me in researching the structures and properties of novel materials at the smallest of scales.”  

At UC Davis, Ura was among the five founding members of the Davis Undergraduate Engineering Network , which focuses on fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers at UC Davis. Through the club, Ura found lifelong connections and hopes that incoming engineering students will also find community with the legacy he is leaving behind.   

As Ura looks ahead to his Ph.D. program at the University of California, Irvine, he also looks fondly at the people who helped him achieve his academic goals. He appreciates Susan Gentry , associate professor of teaching in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, for her dedication to her students and for teaching him marketable skills like machine learning for materials informatics.   

He also appreciates Erika La Plante , assistant professor of materials science and engineering. He never took any of her classes, but he joined her research group last fall to research the precipitation of magnesium-based cement, and her mentorship, Ura says, has been pivotal in his decision to pursue a graduate degree.   

“Professor La Plante has provided me with the tools and opportunities to realize my potential as an independent researcher. I'm beyond grateful that she took a chance on me as her first undergraduate researcher at UC Davis.”  

While Ura encourages new students to take advantage of UC Davis’ ample resources, apply for leadership positions in campus organizations and say “yes” to as much as possible, he emphasizes the value of taking the time to be present as well.     

“Your undergraduate years go by so much faster than you may think,” he said. “You're currently making the college memories that you'll look back on, so take the time to hang out with friends, watch the sunset and eat good food.”
