An inducible CRISPRi circuit for tunable dynamic regulation of gene expression in Saccharopolyspora erythraea.
Actinomyces are gram-positive bacteria known for their valuable secondary metabolites. Redirecting metabolic flux towards desired products in actinomycetes requires precise and dynamic regulation of gene expression. In this study, we integrated the CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system with a cumate-inducible promoter to develop an inducible gene downregulation method in Saccharopolyspora erythraea, a prominent erythromycin-producing actinobacterium. The functionality of the cumate-inducible promoter was validated using the gusA gene as a reporter, and the successful inducible expression of the dCas9 gene was confirmed. The developed inducible CRISPRi strategy was then employed to downregulate the expression of target genes rppA in the wild-type strain NRRL2338 and sucC in the high erythromycin-producing strain E3. Through dynamic control of sucC expression, a significant enhancement in erythromycin production was achieved in strain E3. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of an inducible gene downregulation approach using CRISPRi and a cumate-inducible promoter, providing valuable insights for optimizing natural product production in actinomyces.
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.
