Abstract
Metabolic Engineering of yeast is a critical approach to improving the production capacity of cell factories. To obtain genetically stable recombinant strains, the exogenous DNA is preferred to be integrated into the genome. Previously, we developed a Golden Gate toolkit YALIcloneNHEJ, which could be used as an efficient modular cloning toolkit for the random integration of multigene pathways through the innate non-homologous end-joining repair mechanisms of Yarrowia lipolytica. We expanded the toolkit by designing additional building blocks of homologous arms and using CRISPR technology. The reconstructed toolkit was thus entitled YALIcloneHR and designed for gene-specific knockout and integration. To verify the effectiveness of the system, the gene PEX10 was selected as the target for the knockout. This system was subsequently applied for the arachidonic acid production, and the reconstructed strain can accumulate 4.8% of arachidonic acid. The toolkit will expand gene editing technology in Y. lipolytica, which would help produce other chemicals derived from acetyl-CoA in the future.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Letters is the world’s leading rapid-publication primary journal dedicated to biotechnology as a whole – that is to topics relating to actual or potential applications of biological reactions affected by microbial, plant or animal cells and biocatalysts derived from them.
All relevant aspects of molecular biology, genetics and cell biochemistry, of process and reactor design, of pre- and post-treatment steps, and of manufacturing or service operations are therefore included.
Contributions from industrial and academic laboratories are equally welcome. We also welcome contributions covering biotechnological aspects of regenerative medicine and biomaterials and also cancer biotechnology. Criteria for the acceptance of papers relate to our aim of publishing useful and informative results that will be of value to other workers in related fields.
The emphasis is very much on novelty and immediacy in order to justify rapid publication of authors’ results. It should be noted, however, that we do not normally publish papers (but this is not absolute) that deal with unidentified consortia of microorganisms (e.g. as in activated sludge) as these results may not be easily reproducible in other laboratories.
Papers describing the isolation and identification of microorganisms are not regarded as appropriate but such information can be appended as supporting information to a paper. Papers dealing with simple process development are usually considered to lack sufficient novelty or interest to warrant publication.
