  • Regulation of ATP Levels in Escherichia Coli Using CRISPR
    Tao et al. Microb Cell Fact (2018) 17:147 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12934-018-0995-7 Microbial Cell Factories RESEARCH Open Access Regulation of ATP levels in Escherichia coli using CRISPR interference for enhanced pinocembrin production Sha Tao, Ying Qian, Xin Wang, Weijia Cao, Weichao Ma, Kequan Chen* and Pingkai Ouyang Abstract Background: Microbial biosynthesis of natural products holds promise for preclinical studies and treating diseases. For instance, pinocembrin is a natural favonoid with important pharmacologic characteristics and is widely used in preclinical studies. However, high yield of natural products production is often limited by the intracellular cofactor level, including adenosine triphosphate (ATP). To address this challenge, tailored modifcation of ATP concentration in Escherichia coli was applied in efcient pinocembrin production. Results: In the present study, a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) interference sys- tem was performed for screening several ATP-related candidate genes, where metK and proB showed its potential to improve ATP level and increased pinocembrin production. Subsequently, the repression efciency of metK and proB were optimized to achieve the appropriate levels of ATP and enhancing the pinocembrin production, which allowed the pinocembrin titer increased to 102.02 mg/L. Coupled with the malonyl-CoA engineering and optimization of culture and induction condition, a fnal pinocembrin titer of 165.31 mg/L was achieved, which is 10.2-fold higher than control strains. Conclusions: Our results introduce a strategy to approach the efcient biosynthesis of pinocembrin via ATP level strengthen using CRISPR interference. Furthermore coupled with the malonyl-CoA engineering and induction condi- tion have been optimized for pinocembrin production.

    Gibson Assembly® CLONING GUIDE 2ND EDITION RESTRICTION DIGESTFREE, SEAMLESS CLONING Applications, tools, and protocols for the Gibson Assembly® method: • Single Insert • Multiple Inserts • Site-Directed Mutagenesis #DNAMYWAY sgidna.com/gibson-assembly Foreword Contents Foreword The Gibson Assembly method has been an integral part of our work at Synthetic Genomics, Inc. and the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) for nearly a decade, enabling us to synthesize a complete bacterial genome in 2008, create the first synthetic cell in 2010, and generate a minimal bacterial genome in 2016. These studies form the framework for basic research in understanding the fundamental principles of cellular function and the precise function of essential genes. Additionally, synthetic cells can potentially be harnessed for commercial applications which could offer great benefits to society through the renewable and sustainable production of therapeutics, biofuels, and biobased textiles. In 2004, JCVI had embarked on a quest to synthesize genome-sized DNA and needed to develop the tools to make this possible. When I first learned that JCVI was attempting to create a synthetic cell, I truly understood the significance and reached out to Hamilton (Ham) Smith, who leads the Synthetic Biology Group at JCVI. I joined Ham’s team as a postdoctoral fellow and the development of Gibson Assembly began as I started investigating methods that would allow overlapping DNA fragments to be assembled toward the goal of generating genome- sized DNA. Over time, we had multiple methods in place for assembling DNA molecules by in vitro recombination, including the method that would later come to be known as Gibson Assembly.
