CRISPR EnAbled Trackable genome Engineering for isopropanol production in Escherichia coli

Abstract: Isopropanol is an important target molecule for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. Increases in DNA synthesis and synthetic biology capabilities have resulted in the development of a range of new strategies for the more rapid design, construction, and testing of production strains. Here, we report on the use of such capabilities to construct and test 903 different variants of the isopropanol production pathway in Escherichia coli. We first constructed variants to explore the effect of codon optimiz… Show more

“…For example, Shi et al specifically designed gRNAs to target multiple delta sites in the yeast genome, ultimately achieving 18-copy genomic integrations of a 24 kb combined xylose utilization and (R,R)-2,3-butanediol (BDO) production pathway in a single step, in S. cerevisiae [88]. DNA libraries, such as error-prone PCRs derived or double-stranded fragments obtained from DNA synthesizing companies, can be genomically integrated to find variants of a studied enzyme with enhanced catalytic activities or optimal level of expression [64,83]. Genomically integrated DNA libraries offer several advantages compared to plasmid based strategies, especially in terms of expression stability [83].…”

“…The editing cassettes on the plasmid also serve as the barcode to track the mutations before and after selection to assign fitness scores to each mutation (Garst et al , ). The technology has been used for directed evolution of E. coli proteins, pathways, and strains (Shalem et al , ; Cobb et al , ; Cho et al , ; Liang et al , ; Liu et al , ; Lu et al , ; Wu et al , ,b; Zhu et al , ; Bassalo et al , ). However, applying CREATE for DMS proved to be challenging.…”
