毕赤酵母重组菌株直接基因缺失方法的研究

毕赤酵母重组菌在表达外源蛋白时往往存在比较严重的蛋白降解现象,一种可供选择的解决办法就是将其中起作用的某种蛋白酶基因缺失,但目前国内外研究主要集中于非重组毕赤酵母的基因缺失,直接对重组菌进行基因缺失的研究较少。以现有的毕赤酵母基因重组菌(GS115Hir)为宿主菌,分别采用有标记的插入替换方法和无标记的Pop-In/Pop-Out方法直接缺失其PRC1蛋白酶基因和KEX1蛋白酶基因。缺失菌株经测序分析,结果显示发生了理论的基因缺失。在此基础上本文比较了这两种方法的各自优缺点,探讨了它们的不同的用途,为直接在毕赤酵母重组菌中进行基因缺失提供了有益的参考。

Sequential deletion of Pichia pastoris genes by a self-excisable cassette

A rapid and convenient method is presented for unmarked gene deletions in Pichia pastoris. Cre/mutated lox system, Zeocin(?) (Invitrogen) resistance marker and homologous arms were spliced together by fusion PCR to generate the gene disruption cassettes (homologous region-lox71-Cre-ZeoR-lox66-homologous region), which could be integrated into the P. pastoris genome via homologous recombination. After transferring double-cross-over recombinants to methanol induction medium, transient expression of Cre recombinase caused the recombination of lox71-Cre-ZeoR-lox66 fragment into a double-mutant lox72 site, thus excising the Cre-ZeoR cassette from the P. pastoris genome. As the double-mutant lox72 site displays strongly reduced binding affinity for Cre recombinase, this method could be used sequentially to disrupt P. pastoris genes without introducing selectable markers. The effectiveness of this strategy was verified by introducing both single and double gene deletions into the P. pastoris genome.

Recombination machinery engineering facilitates metabolic engineering of the industrial yeast Pichia pastoris

The industrial yeast Pichia pastoris has been harnessed extensively for production of proteins, and it is attracting attention as a chassis cell factory for production of chemicals. However, the lack of synthetic biology tools makes it challenging in rewiring P. pastoris metabolism. We here extensively engineered the recombination machinery by establishing a CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing platform, which improved the homologous recombination (HR) efficiency by more than 54 times, in particular, enhanced the simultaneously assembly of multiple fragments by 13.5 times. We also found that the key HR-relating gene RAD52 of P. pastoris was largely repressed in compared to that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This gene editing system enabled efficient seamless gene disruption, genome integration and multiple gene assembly with positive rates of 68–90%. With this efficient genome editing platform, we characterized 46 potential genome integration sites and 18 promoters at different growth conditions. This library of neutral sites and promoters enabled two-factorial regulation of gene expression and metabolic pathways and resulted in a 30-fold range of fatty alcohol production (12.6–380 mg/l). The expanding genetic toolbox will facilitate extensive rewiring of P. pastoris for chemical production, and also shed light on engineering of other non-conventional yeasts.     

mazF as a counter-selectable marker for unmarked genetic modification of Pichia pastoris

In this study, we demonstrate a novel method for unmarked genetic modification of the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris , in which the Escherichia coli toxin gene mazF was used as a counter-selectable marker. mazF was placed under the tightly controlled AOX1 promoter, and the induced expression of MazF in P. pastoris halted cell growth. A modular plasmid was constructed in which mazF and a Zeocin resistance gene acted as counter-selectable and active-selectable markers, respectively, and the MazF-ZeoR cassette was flanked by two direct repeats for marker recycling. Linearized delivery vectors constructed from the modular plasmid were integrated into the P. pastoris genome via homologous recombination, introducing genetic modifications. Upon counter-selection with methanol medium, which induces the AOX1 promoter, the markers were recycled efficiently via homologous recombination between the direct repeats. We used this method successfully to knock-out the ARG1 and MET2 genes, knock-in a green fluorescent protein expression cassette, and perform site-directed mutagenesis on the ARG1 gene, all without introducing unwanted selection markers. The novel method allows repeated use of the selectable marker gene for multiple modifications and will be a useful tool for P. pastoris studies.
