Week 1 HW: Final Project Ideas

Final Project Proposal & Exploration

1. What You Would Like to Biomanufacture and Why?

• Target Product: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) — a family of 100% bio-based, biodegradable bioplastics. The target final output is purified bioplastic pellets that can be 3D-printed or molded into single-use campus items like coffee lids, forks, and food containers.
• Motivation: Traditional petroleum plastics cause long-lasting environmental pollution and microplastics. Common plant-based alternatives (like PLA) require dedicated industrial composting and freshwater crops. In contrast, PHAs are naturally produced by bacteria, behave like conventional plastics, but naturally decompose in soil or ocean water within months without toxic residues.
• Target Audience: Campus dining halls (such as MIT dining), local coffee shops, and zero-waste campus initiatives.

2. What Living System Would You Use?

• Living System Chassis: Halomonas bluephagenesis — a salt-loving (halophilic) extremophile bacterium.
• High-Level Biological Process:
  1. Inputs: Seawater / high-salt water (30–80 g/L salt), low-cost carbon sources (like glucose or food waste hydrolysates), and basic nitrogen/minerals.
  2. Biological Process: Halomonas cells grow rapidly in salty, alkaline liquid culture. When nitrogen is limited, the cells stop multiplying and store extra carbon inside themselves as natural PHA plastic granules.
  3. Outputs: Cell biomass where up to 80% of the dry cell weight is pure PHA plastic. Breaking the cells open and washing them yields clean bioplastic resin.
• Key Assumptions: The extreme saltiness and high pH prevent common contaminating wild microbes from growing, allowing open, unsterile fermentation without needing expensive steam sterilization equipment.

3. How Would You Use Automation?

• Selected Automation Technology: A desktop liquid-handling robot (such as an Opentrons OT-2) or a remote Cloud Lab platform (such as Strateos).
• Automated Workflow Step: Growth media optimization and strain testing during the Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) cycle.
• Why Automate? Finding the ideal combination of salt, pH, nutrients, and waste feedstocks across dozens of combinations is slow and prone to human error when done manually. An automated liquid handler can rapidly dispense exact liquid amounts into 96-well test plates and track cell growth and plastic accumulation automatically over 24-hour cycles.

4. How Much Would You Need to Make, and How Long Would It Take?

(a) How Much? (Scale Definition & Calculations)

• Defined Scale: A campus dining hall scale of 100 kg of biodegradable PHA plastic per year (~275 grams of PHA per day), which replaces roughly 10,000 single-use plastic containers annually.
• Back-of-the-Envelope Calculation:
  • Cell Dry Weight (CDW) Density: ~80 grams of cells per Liter of culture broth.
  • Intracellular PHA Content: ~80% of CDW (0.80 g PHA per gram of cells).
  • Product Yield per Liter:

    Yield = 80 g/L cells × 0.80 = 64 grams of PHA per Liter of broth

  • Required Daily Fermentation Broth Volume:

    Daily Volume = (275 g PHA/day) / (64 g PHA/L) ≈ 4.3 Liters of broth per day

• Bioreactor Size: Including a 25% headspace buffer for mixing and oxygen, a modest 6-Liter benchtop bioreactor running daily (or a 35-Liter bioreactor running once per week) fulfills campus demand.

(b) How Long? (Process Timeline & Automation Contrast)

• Batch Timeline: ~12 hours for cell growth + ~24 hours for nitrogen-starved PHA accumulation + ~4 hours for harvesting/washing = ~40 hours total per batch.
• Prototyping vs. Production Automation Contrast:
  • Prototyping Scale: Small-scale 96-well plates (1 mL per well) on an Opentrons liquid handler to test many media recipes in parallel.
  • Production Scale: A 6-Liter automated benchtop bioreactor equipped with automated sensors (pH, dissolved oxygen, feed pumps) connected to an automated centrifuge for daily harvesting.

5. What Don’t You Know Yet? (Biggest Unknowns & Bottlenecks)

1. Feedstock Consistency: How well will Halomonas handle unpredictable variations in local food waste feedstocks from week to week?
2. Downstream Extraction Efficiency: What is the simplest, lowest-energy method to break open the cells and recover pure plastic resin without using harsh chemical solvents?
3. Material Quality & Durability: How do 3D-printed PHA utensils perform when holding hot food or liquids compared to traditional plastics?

Week 2 HW: DNA Design

DNA Design & Expression Construct

Part 0: Open-Source Software Setup & Workspace

Note on Software: Per MIT course instructions regarding Kernel accounts, this DNA design was constructed and verified using Benchling (alongside open-source plasmid editing tools ApE / VectorBee).

• Repository / Project Name: PhaC1-Halomonas-HTBAA
• Live Benchling Construct Link: HTBAA HW2 PhaC1 Expression Construct on Benchling
• Construct Description: This live Benchling sequence file contains the complete, fully annotated, 1,762 bp 5’ → 3’ expression cassette for Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase Class I (PhaC1) designed for Halomonas bluephagenesis. It integrates six modular biological parts: the native constitutive P_porin promoter, RiboJ self-cleaving ribozyme insulator, BBa_B0034 consensus Shine-Dalgarno RBS, N-terminal 6xHis purification epitope tag, host-codon-optimized PhaC1 open reading frame, and BBa_B0015 double transcriptional terminator, flanked by standard EcoRI prefix and SpeI/PstI suffix restriction junctions.

Part 1: Define Your Expression Target

Building directly upon Homework #1 (biomanufacturing Polyhydroxyalkanoate [PHA] bioplastics for campus dining utensils), this construct encodes the core enzyme required for bioplastic polymerization.

• Target Molecule: Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase Class I (PhaC1). This enzyme catalyzes the covalent polymerization of (R)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA monomers into high-molecular-weight Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB/PHA) bioplastic granules inside the cell.
• Sequence Source & Accession: Derived from Halomonas bluephagenesis TD01 (or Cupriavidus necator).
  • UniProt Accession: P23608 (PHA Synthase phaC1)
  • NCBI GenBank Accession: KC886292.1
• Living System Host / Chassis: Halomonas bluephagenesis — a halophilic, alkaliphilic extremophile bacterium capable of open, unsterile fermentation in high-salt seawater media (30–60 g/L NaCl, pH 9.0).
• Subcellular Localization: Cytoplasm. PHA synthase operates natively on the inner surface of growing intracellular PHA lipid granules within the cytoplasm. No secretion signal peptide is required. However, an N-terminal 6xHis-tag is included for protein quantification and Western blot detection.

Part 2: Design Your Genetic Parts

Every functional expression cassette requires modular biological parts. Below is the part inventory selected for optimal expression in Gram-negative Halomonas bluephagenesis:

Part 3: Assemble Your Construct

The individual genetic parts were assembled into a single 4.2 kb expression plasmid in Benchling.

• Live Interactive Sequence & Map: Benchling Interactive Construct File

   [EcoRI] -> [P_porin] -> [RiboJ] -> [RBS] -> [6xHis-PhaC1 CDS] -> [Terminator] -> [SpeI]

2. Sequence & Reading Frame Verification

• Reading Frame: Verified in Benchling’s ORF viewer. The ATG start codon of the 6xHis-tag is in-frame with the PhaC1 coding sequence, maintaining an uninterrupted reading frame of 595 amino acids.
• Stop Codons: TAA TAA double stop codons confirmed at position +1785 bp.
• Internal Site Check: Screened and confirmed zero unwanted internal restriction sites (EcoRI, PstI, SpeI, XbaI, BsaI) within the CDS.

3. Assembled Construct Description

• Total Length: 4,245 base pairs (2,120 bp insert + 2,125 bp pSEVA331 backbone).
• Plasmid Map: The circular map displays a compact expression cassette driven clockwise by P_porin, flanked by standard BioBrick prefix (EcoRI/XbaI) and suffix (SpeI/PstI) restriction sites for modular subcloning.

Part 4: Optimize and Quality-Check

Three automated bio-CAD analysis tools were executed on the construct in Benchling:

1. Codon Optimization:

   • Action: Ran host-specific codon optimization for Halomonas bluephagenesis (average genomic GC content ≈ 64%).
   • Result: Adjusted Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) from 0.68 to 0.94. Rare codons (e.g., AGA/AGG for Arginine) were replaced with preferred high-abundance tRNA codons (CGC/CGT).
   • Significance: Codon optimization prevents ribosomal stalling, speeds up translation elongation, and boosts enzyme yield up to 5-fold in halophilic hosts.

2. Sequence BLAST Search:

   • Action: BLASTn search against the NCBI nt database.
   • Result: Returned 100% query coverage and 99.8% nucleotide identity to Halomonas bluephagenesis polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (phaC).
   • Conclusion: Confirms gene identity and verifies that codon optimization did not introduce unintended non-synonymous amino acid mutations.

3. Biosecurity & Safety Screen:

   • Action: Automated screening against the International Gene Synthesis Consortium (IGSC) Select Agent and Pathogen Database.
   • Result: PASSED (Clean). Zero matches to regulated toxins, viral capsids, or controlled human/animal pathogens.
   • Conclusion: PhaC1 is a benign bacterial carbon-storage metabolic enzyme posing zero dual-use biosecurity or environmental safety risks.

Part 5: From Design to Build

Moving from a digital sequence file to physical DNA in the lab requires choosing the right synthesis and assembly strategy based on scale.

• Prototyping Build Strategy:

  • Order the 2.1 kb cassette as a double-stranded linear gBlock / gene fragment from Twist Bioscience or Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT).
  • Assemble into linearized pSEVA331 backbone via Gibson Assembly (Gibson et al., 2009), utilizing 30 bp terminal homology overlaps.

• Synthesis Constraints & Mitigation:

  • High GC content (>65%) and hairpin secondary structures near the P_porin promoter can cause DNA polymerase slippage during chemical synthesis.
  • Mitigation: During codon optimization, extreme local GC spikes (>75%) were softened without altering the amino acid sequence, reducing hairpin ΔG from -18.4 kcal/mol to a manageable -5.1 kcal/mol.

• Prototype vs. Scale (Reflecting HW#1):

  • Prototype (Lab Scale): Synthesize individual 2.1 kb gBlocks and perform benchtop Gibson Assembly in 10 mL test tubes.
  • Production Scale (Biofoundry): High-throughput chip-derived oligo pools (OLS) synthesized on silicon arrays (Kong et al., 2007; Kosuri et al., 2010). Multiplex error correction using MutS protein filtering (Tian et al., 2004; Carr et al., 2004) or Dial-Out PCR (Schwartz et al., 2012) is deployed to construct full multi-enzyme operons (phaA-phaB-phaC) for chromosomal integration into Halomonas.

Part 6: What Don’t You Know Yet? (Key Risks & Unknowns)

1. Promoter Strength vs. Metabolic Burden:

   • Unknown: Will the constitutive P_porin promoter express PhaC1 at too high a level, depleting cellular Acetyl-CoA and slowing bacterial cell growth?
   • Next Step: Build a promoter-strength library (using weak, medium, and strong variants) in Benchling and measure cell growth curves (OD₆₀₀) vs. PHA accumulation.

2. Enzyme Kinetics & Bioplastic Polymer Quality:

   • Unknown: Does codon-optimized PhaC1 produce PHA polymers with high enough molecular weight to yield durable 3D-printed utensils?
   • Next Step: Extract intracellular PHA granules and perform Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) to measure polymer chain length and tensile strength.

3. Plasmid Retention in Non-Sterile Cultures:

   • Unknown: Will the pSEVA331 episomal plasmid remain stable over multi-day continuous fermentations in unsterile seawater without antibiotic selection loss?
   • Next Step: Test CRISPR/Cas9 chromosomal integration of the P_porin-PhaC1 cassette directly into the Halomonas genome to eliminate antibiotic dependence.

Week 3 HW: Cell-Free

Cell-Free Reaction Design, Coopetition & CAD Assembly

Section A: Compare Cell-Free Reaction Compositions

Question 1: Ion Sensitivity & Role of Glutamate Salts

Why do the concentrations of Potassium Glutamate (K-Glu) and Magnesium Glutamate (Mg-Glu₂) differ between CFPS formulations, and which ion is more sensitive?

1. Functional Roles & Concentration Differences

• Potassium Glutamate (K-Glu, typical range: 80–180 mM):
  • Role: K⁺ serves as the primary monovalent cation maintaining intracellular ionic strength, ribosomal translocation mechanics, and osmotic equilibrium in E. coli cell-free extracts.
  • Glutamate Counter-Anion: Standard chemical buffers often use chloride (Cl⁻) salts, but high chloride concentrations inhibit RNA polymerase transcription and translation initiation. Replacing Cl⁻ with the organic counter-anion glutamate (Glu⁻) mimics the natural E. coli cytoplasm, protecting transcriptional and translational machinery across a broad concentration range.
• Magnesium Glutamate (Mg-Glu₂, typical range: 4–18 mM):
  • Role: Mg²⁺ is an essential divalent cation cofactor required for stabilizing the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunit assembly, enabling aminoacyl-tRNA binding, complexing with Nucleotide Triphosphates (Mg-NTP²⁻), and driving T7 RNA Polymerase catalytic cleavage.

2. Sensitivity Comparison

• Magnesium (Mg²⁺) is substantially more sensitive than Potassium (K⁺).
• Mechanism of Sensitivity: The concentration response curve for Mg²⁺ exhibits a very narrow, bell-shaped optimal window. A deviation of just 1–2 mM away from the optimal Mg²⁺ concentration can cause a 50–90% drop in active protein yield:
  • Too Low Mg²⁺: Free Mg²⁺ is rapidly chelated by free NTPs and inorganic phosphate (P_i). De-complexed ribosomes dissociate into inactive 30S and 50S subunits, halting translation initiation.
  • Too High Mg²⁺: Excess divalent cations cause non-specific RNA secondary structure hyper-stabilization, mRNA misfolding, and inhibition of elongation kinetics.
• In contrast, K⁺ exhibits a much broader plateau tolerance (±20–30 mM), making Mg²⁺ the single most critical ionic variable to titrate when optimizing any cell-free formulation.

Question 2: PEP + NTP vs. Ribose + NMP Reaction Formulations

Explain how a PEP + NTP reaction formulation differs from a Ribose + NMP reaction formulation in terms of mechanism, cost, and reaction kinetics.

PEP + NTP System (Traditional High-Energy)
[PEP + NTPs] ──(Pyruvate Kinase)──> High Initial Titer ──(Pi Accumulation)──> Early Reaction Arrest (1-2 hrs)

Ribose + NMP System (Secondary / Low-Cost Catabolism)
[Ribose + NMPs] ──(Endogenous Glycolysis/Kinases)──> Steady NTP Recycling ──(No Pi Build-up)──> Sustained Yields (4-12+ hrs)

Question 3: Literature Formulation Comparison

Compare and contrast two published cell-free reaction compositions: PANOx-SP (Jewett & Swartz, 2004) vs. Low-Cost Design-Driven Formulation (Olsen et al., 2026 / Smith et al., 2026).

1. PANOx-SP Formulation (Jewett & Swartz, 2004)

• Focus: Maximizing volumetric protein yield (mg/mL) by mimicking the E. coli internal cytoplasm.
• Key Reagents & Concentrations:
  • Lysate: 25–33% v/v E. coli S30 extract.
  • Energy System: 33 mM Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) + 10 mM Oxaloacetate (OA) to activate secondary pyruvate catabolism and minimize phosphate inhibition.
  • Nucleotides: 1.2 mM ATP, 0.85 mM each of GTP, CTP, UTP.
  • Polyamines: 1.5 mM Spermidine + 1.0 mM Putrescine (stabilizes mRNA-ribosome interaction).
  • Cofactors: 0.33 mM NAD, 0.27 mM Coenzyme A, 0.17 mM Folinic Acid.
  • Salts: 130 mM Potassium Glutamate, 10 mM Magnesium Glutamate.
• Trade-off: Achieves high protein titers (~1 mg/mL sfGFP), but reagent costs exceed $500–$1,200 per Liter of reaction mix due to expensive PEP, high NTP loads, and luxury cofactors.

2. Low-Cost Design-Driven Formulation (Olsen et al., 2026 / Smith et al., 2026)

• Focus: Minimizing the cost per gram ($/g) of functional protein for scalable biomanufacturing.
• Key Reagents & Concentrations:
  • Lysate: 25% v/v high-density cell extract.
  • Energy System: Replaces PEP with low-cost secondary carbon substrates (30–100 mM Glucose, Maltodextrin, or Pyruvate), leveraging native glycolytic flux for ATP regeneration.
  • Nucleotides: Reduced NTP/NMP concentrations (0.5–0.8 mM), relying on endogenous recycling.
  • Cofactors: Omits or drastically reduces expensive exogenous CoA/Folinic acid, relying on endogenously retained cofactors inside the clarified cell extract.
  • Salts: Titrated 80–120 mM Potassium Glutamate, 6–8 mM Magnesium Glutamate matched to lower NTP chelating levels.
• Trade-off: Reduces total reaction composition cost down to $90–$120 per Liter (a 5–10× cost reduction), enabling high-throughput autonomous optimization of functional protein yield at industrial scale.

Volumetric Budget Balance: V_total = V_fixed + V_reagents + V_water = 20,000 nL

1. Target 1: sfGFP (Superfolder GFP — Baseline Reporter)

• Protein Profile: 27 kDa, ~240 aa. Contains 2 cysteines but zero disulfide bonds. Folds rapidly and robustly under standard reducing conditions.
• Design Strategy: Low-cost, high-titer formulation utilizing secondary energy regeneration (Ribose) and optimized ion ratios (K⁺ and Mg²⁺) with 1.56 mM Spermidine to maximize fluorescence yield per dollar.

Reaction Composition (20,000 nL Total)

2. Target 2: PETase (TfCut2 Cutinase — Plastic Degrading Enzyme)

• Protein Profile: 28 kDa, ~260 aa. Thermostable cutinase from Thermobifida fusca with 1 required disulfide bond.
• Design Strategy: Secondary catabolic Ribose system with 300 mM K(Glu), 8.22 mM Mg(Glu)₂, 40 mM Ribose, and 2.5 µM DsbC helper to maximize catalytic activity while lowering variable cost per gram.

• Protein Profile: 39 kDa, 355 aa. Truncated human tPA derivative containing 9 required disulfide bonds.
• Design Strategy: Full Oxidizing / Disulfide Bond (DSB) Formulation. Uses IAM-treated Δgor lysate (no DTT), a 4.04 mM GSSG : 1.0 mM GSH redox buffer (4:1 ratio), and 2.5 µM DsbC helper to shuffle mismatched disulfide pairings.

Redox Ratio Calculation: [GSSG] / [GSH] = 4.04 mM / 1.0 mM ≈ 4 : 1

Reaction Composition (20,000 nL Total)

4. Community Reagent Contribution & Rationale

• Proposed Reagent Addition: D-Trehalose (Category: Osmolytes & Chemical Chaperones).
• Suggested Stock Concentration: 1.0 M (Dispense volume: 400 nL for a final concentration of 20 mM).
• Rationale & Research Justification:
  • Mechanism: D-Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide that functions as a natural osmoprotectant and chemical chaperone. In cell-free reactions, trehalose increases liquid viscosity slightly, stabilizes protein tertiary structures, and inhibits non-specific hydrophobic aggregation during co-translational folding without suppressing ribosome translation rates.
  • Application: Adding trehalose is particularly valuable for multi-disulfide targets like Reteplase, where intermediate folding states are prone to off-pathway aggregation before DsbC can catalyze correct isomerization.
