摘要:

大肠杆菌的tnaA基因编码色氨酸酶,该基因的失活有利于大肠杆菌积累更多的L-色氨酸。利用CRISPR/Cas9系统介导的基因编辑技术对大肠杆菌tnaA基因进行敲除。首先针对tnaA基因设计CRISPR/Cas9作用靶点,构建gRNA表达质粒;随后人工设计同源修复供体基因序列,构建成完整的CRISPR/Cas9基因敲除系统;将该系统应用到大肠杆菌w3110-Δ中,经PCR和测序鉴定,证实目的基因tnaA敲除成功,敲除效率75%。成功构建了大肠杆菌tnaA基因敲除菌,为大肠杆菌L-色氨酸高产菌株的构建奠定了基础。

Abstract:

In Escherichia coli, tnaA gene encodes tryptophanase and it′s inactivation contributes to the L-tryptophan accumulation in E.coli. In the present study, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing technology was used to knockout the tnaA gene of E.coli. Sequence targeted by CRISPR/Cas9 was designed and gRNA expression plasmid was constructed. Donor DNA for homologous repair was constructed. Donor DNA, gRNA expression plasmid and pCas plasmid co-constituted the CRISPR/Csa9 system. This system was performed on E.coli w3110-Δ. PCR and sequencing results confirmed the successful knockout of tnaA gene with the knockout efficiency of 75%. In conclusion, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout system for E.coli tnaA gene was successfully established, which would provide an effective tool for strain construction for L-tryptophan production.
