Manipulating Natural Product Biosynthetic Pathways via DNA Assembler

Abstract: DNA assembler is an efficient synthetic biology method for constructing and manipulating biochemical pathways. The rapidly increasing number of sequenced genomes provides a rich source for discovery of gene clusters involved in synthesizing new natural products. However, both discovery and economical production are hampered by our limited knowledge in manipulating most organisms and the corresponding pathways. By taking advantage of yeast in vivo homologous recombination, DNA assembler synthesizes an entire ex… Show more

“…Current methods in the same field (10, 11) are unable to clone large target fragments with repeat sequences, whereas SCLF is able to. In fact, the size of the target fragment could be larger, since conventional plasmids have the ability to harbor DNA fragments ranging from 40 to 100 kb (23), and there is no difference in the procedures for cloning fragments of different sizes.…”

“…However, when used for cloning PKS (polyketide synthase) genes, the assembly efficiency can be low, and most of the constructs undergo severe gene deletions. This failure is due to the repeating PKS domains, which share very similar sequences (10). Similarly, large target fragments with repeats are difficult to clone via such methods.…”

“…Paclitaxel (Tx) has been widely used to treat a variety of cancer types, including breast cancer [5]. Tx binds to β-tubulin subunits of the microtubule, preventing them from undergoing the depolymerization process, which is crucial during the course of mitosis [6]. Subsequently, the dissociation of the spindle is inhibited, and therefore, the cell cycle is blocked in the G2/M phase and apoptosis [7].…”

“…The strain S. cerevisiae BY4741 (MATa his3Δ1 leu2Δ0 met15Δ0 ura3Δ0) was used as the microbial platform for the production of SA and MA, as well as for the assembly of plasmids using the DNA Assembler technique Shao and Zhao, 2014). The yeast cultures were maintained in YPD medium (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, and 2% dextrose).…”
