Unexpected stress-Reducing effect of PhaP, a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) granule-associated protein, in Escherichia coli
Phasins (PhaP) are proteins normally associated with granules of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a biodegradable polymer accumulated by many bacteria as a reserve molecule. These proteins enhance growth and polymer production in natural and recombinant PHB producers. It has been shown that the produc...

While PHB accumulation was found to increase the transcription of dnaK and ibpA, the expression of these genes and of groES, groEL, rpoH, dps, and yfiD was reduced, when PhaP was coexpressed, to levels even lower than those detected in the non-PHB-accumulating control. These results demonstrated the protective role of PhaP in PHB-synthesizing E. coli and linked the effects of the protein to the expression of stress-related genes, especially ibpA. The effect of PhaP was also analyzed in non-PHBsynthesizing strains, showing that expression of this heterologous protein has an unexpected protective effect in E. coli, under both normal and stress conditions, resulting in increased growth and higher resistance to both heat shock and superoxide stress by paraquat. In addition, PhaP expression was shown to reduce RpoH protein levels during heat shock, probably by reducing or titrating the levels of misfolded proteins. © 2011, American Society for Microbiology.
