Storage

1.Introduction

    Fe(II) in E.coli causes Fenton reaction in response to hydrogen peroxide and produce hydroxyl radical (OH・) which is harmful to E.coli. As a result, giving iron to E.coli excessively leads to the death of E.coli.
    Ferritin is an intracellular protein which has a property to store iron. Ferritin has Heavy chain and Light chain. Heavy chain affects the oxidation of iron and stimulate 2Fe(II)+O2→[Fe(III)-O-O-Fe(III)] reaction. Light chain takes in Fe(III) in ferritin. Fe2O3(H2O) has paramagnetism.
    These two effects enable isolation of iron in ferritin and produce E.coli with strong iron tolerance.











     In order to magnetize E. coli, we decided to import as much Fe ions as possible in E.coli. So, we focused on ferritin that stored Fe irons. Ferritin forms 24-mer protein composed by heavy chain (FTH) and light chain (FTL) as shown in Figure 1. The H chain oxidizes Fe and L chain stores it. The reaction in H chain is below.
        2Fe2++O2+(H2O)x+3→Fe2O3(H2O)x+4H++H2O2
The different species has the different ratio of FTH to FTL. Generally, the mammalian ferritin has more FTL on the other hand the ferritin derived from bacteria has more FTH. Because we wanted E. coli to store as much Fe as possible, the mammal ferritin is suitable for our object. Therefore, we decided to introduce human ferritin that can be expressed in E.coli.

2.1.Parts

    The ferritin has FTH and FTL but the ratio is different in the species. However, it may be depend on the expression. So, we constructed two different human ferritin; BBa_K1057002 with strong RBS and BBa_K1057009 with middle RBS. Further more, we placed two ferritin genes (FTH and FTL) under pBAD promoter to control the expression level ant the timing. For these reasons, we constructed a new BioBrick based on BBa_I74608 (deposited by iGEM 2007 team Cambridge).
