Abstract: | Most existing genomic engineering protocols for manipulation of Escherichia coli are primarily focused on chromosomal gene knockout. In this study, a simple but systematic chromosomal gene knock-in method
was proposed based on a previously developed protocol using bacteriophage λ (λ Red) and flippase–flippase recognition targets
(FLP–FRT) recombinations. For demonstration purposes, DNA operons containing heterologous genes (i.e., pac encoding E. coli penicillin acylase and palB2 encoding Pseudozyma antarctica lipase B mutant) engineered with regulatory elements, such as strong/inducible promoters (i.e., P
trc
and P
araB
), operators, and ribosomal binding sites, were integrated into the E. coli genome at designated locations (i.e., lacZYA, dbpA, and lacI-mhpR loci) either as a gene replacement or gene insertion using various antibiotic selection markers (i.e., kanamycin and chloramphenicol)
under various genetic backgrounds (i.e., HB101 and DH5α). The expression of the inserted foreign genes was subjected to regulation
using appropriate inducers isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and arabinose] at tunable concentrations. The developed approach not only enables more extensive
genomic engineering of E. coli, but also paves an effective way to “tailor” plasmid-free E. coli strains with desired genotypes suitable for various biotechnological applications, such as biomanufacturing and metabolic
engineering. |
