2 Caffeine Caffeine is 1,3,7- trimethylxanthine Xanthine is a guanine precursor Used in many foods, beverages, and pharmaceuacals Caffeine 120,000 tons/year made by humans Xanthine

3 Environmental Impact Most organisms cannot efficiently degrade caffeine Significant accumulaaon in the environment from industrial and waste water sources Caffeine levels are used to measure human impact on bodies of water Rodriguez et al. (2012) Marine Pollution Bulletin, 64:

4 Environmental Impact Most organisms cannot efficiently degrade caffeine Significant accumulaaon in the environment from industrial and waste water sources Caffeine levels are used to measure human impact on bodies of water

5 And who is to blame? Source: The Huffington Post (originally from

6 Decaffeination Clean up the environmental impacts of caffeine polluaon Detoxify caffeine industrial waste for use as feed stock Produce new methylxanthine based drugs

7 Pseudomonas pu,da CBB5 Discovered by Ryan Summers and Mani Subramanian at the University of Iowa Can live on caffeine as the sole carbon and nitrogen source Summers RM et al. (2012) J. Bact. 194:

8 CBB5 Caffeine DemethylaAon Pathway CBB5 metabolizes caffeine and other methylxanthines to xanthine using an N- demethylaaon pathway

10 Cloning naave CBB5 demethylaaon operon kb known sequence - Cloned into pacyc184 plasmid - Transformed into guab knockout No growth Possible incompatibilities: P. putida CBB5 optimizing for E. coli non-optimal RBSs non-optimal promoters GTG start codons uncharacterized regulators experimentally proven RBSs experimentally proven promoters ATG start codons constitutive expression Will refactoring restore functionality?

15 Growth in caffeinated beverages + decaffeination operon

16 Growth of guab knockout E.coli with decaffeination operon shows linear dependence on caffeine concentration. 7.6 ± 0.8 pg caffeine required per E. coli cell Beyond 250 µm, growth is saturated, apparently because another nutrient becomes limiting.

17 Caffeine content calculations Calculated caffeine content (mg/l) Actual caffeine content (mg/l) Coca-Cola Espresso * * Reported value; may vary depending on preparation

18 TranscripAonal Regulators & Promoters SyntheAc biology needs more inducible promoters! IPTG is expensive (>$10.00/g) DegradaAon operon is likely regulated by methylxanthines in Pseudomonas pu,da CBB5. Collins et al. SyntheAc gene networks that count. Science, 2009 Caffeine is cheap ($0.30/g)

26 Summary of Results Refactored decaffeination operon from P. putida CBB5 into E. coli. Addicted" E. coli to caffeine. Used the addicted cells to accurately measure caffeine content of common beverages. Characterized a methylxanthineresponsive transcriptional regulator.
