Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method, system and application for large-fragment DNA cascade assembly. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this part only provide background technical information related to the present invention, and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] It is the goal of synthetic biologists to modify the genomes of organisms according to human will. Using synthetic biology techniques, the construction and rewriting of artificial chromosomes have been achieved, such as the artificial synthesis and replacement of mycoplasma genomes, the construction of mycoplasma minimal genomes, the rewriting of the Escherichia coli genetic code, and the de novo synthesis of yeast chromosomes (Science, 2010, 329: 52-56; Science, 2016, 351: aad6253; Nature, 2016, 539: 59-64). Since yeast can still survive after removing the cell wall, it is relatively easy to introduce DNA fragments at the Mb level. For prokaryotic bacteria without cell walls, such as mycoplasma, it is also easy to introduce large DNA fragments. However, for most prokaryotic bacteria, the presence and complexity of the cell wall limit the length of the introduced DNA, and it is also difficult to introduce large foreign DNA fragments through protoplast fusion by removing the cell wall. Therefore, it is usually necessary to introduce small DNA fragments into bacteria for assembly. Although existing homologous recombination-based techniques can achieve the assembly of DNA fragments over 100 kb in prokaryotic bacteria, these techniques have several disadvantages: one is that the assembly based on the host's own recombination system requires relatively long homologous arms, for example, dozens of kb in Bacillus subtilis and several kb even in Escherichia coli with higher recombination efficiency; the second is that when there are sequences homologous to the foreign DNA at non-target sites on the chassis bacterium genome, recombination based on DNA sequence homology is likely to cause unexpected recombination or form chimeras, resulting in the breakage of the introduced sequence (Nature, 2023, 619: 555-562; Nature, 2016, 539: 59-64); the third is that the recombination efficiency is not high, for example, the correct assembly rate in Escherichia coli is only about 10% (Nature, 2023, 619: 555-562); the fourth is that the ultra-long DNA assembly techniques based on the CRISPR-Cas system and the Escherichia coli or yeast recombination system are cumbersome to operate and are restricted by CRISPR-Cas technology patents, with potential application risks.

[0004] Serine integrases derived from bacteriophages can recognize specific sequences attB and attP on bacterial and phage genomes and mediate the integration of DNA between the two sites. For example, those derived from Streptomyces phages Integrases such as BxB1 and TG1 recognize the attP site on the phage genome and the corresponding attB site on the host bacterial chromosome and catalyze the recombination of the two sites to integrate the phage genome into the host chromosome. The recombination between the attP and attB sites generates two new sites, attL and attR. The disadvantage of using serine integrases to integrate large foreign DNA fragments into the host chromosome is that the newly generated attL and attR sites cannot be used for the next round of integration, and at the same time, the vector fragments carrying the DNA will be integrated together, which will make it difficult to carry out the next round of integration. There are research reports that by designing incompatible attP-attB integration sites, 7 DNA fragments were assembled into a 62.4 kb circular plasmid in vitro using the ΦBT1 integrase (Scientific Reports, DOI: 10.1038 / srep00141). However, due to factors such as the stability of linear DNA and the DNA import efficiency, it is impossible to use this method to assemble multi-fragment and large-fragment DNA in bacteria. Therefore, it is generally considered that serine integrases cannot be used for iterative assembly of DNA fragments. So far, no method has been found to efficiently and continuously introduce large-fragment DNA into the bacterial genome. Summary of the Invention

[0061]

[0062] The present invention provides a method for inserting at least one exogenous DNA fragment into a host bacterium, wherein the exogenous DNA fragment is ≥30 kb, and further 30-200 kb; in the present invention, two sets of serine integrase recognition sites are set on a plasmid to construct a yeast-recipient bacterium shuttle plasmid (donor plasmid) carrying exogenous DNA, and the yeast-recipient bacterium shuttle plasmid carrying exogenous DNA is integrated into the host cell genome by inducing the two sets of serine integrases to act respectively, and the backbone sequence of the shuttle plasmid is deleted; after repeated multiple rounds, the non-target DNA fragments on the host cell genome are deleted to achieve the cascade assembly of large fragments of the host genome. The process schematic diagram is shown in Figure 1 .

[0063] In the present invention, first, multiple exogenous DNA fragments of about 30 kb need to be combined with the donor plasmid by yeast. Screening marker 1-attB T -Shuttle plasmid backbone-attP T Recombination forms a donor plasmid; the donor plasmid is transformed into the constructed carrier Integrase expression cassette and its recognition site or In the recipient bacteria I, the expression of Integrase, at this time, the donor plasmid Site and recipient strain Integration or donor plasmid Site and recipient strain Integration, transfer the entire donor plasmid into the recipient strain genome. In order to remove non-target DNA, the recipient strain containing the donor plasmid is transformed with an auxiliary plasmid I that can induce the expression of TG1int integrase, and after induction of expression, attB is integrated T and attP T The sequence between the two, that is, the backbone vector part carried in the donor plasmid is deleted, and the auxiliary plasmid I is removed by non-antibody screening; the donor plasmid can also be transformed into the constructed integrase recognition site or as well as In the recipient bacteria II of the co-expression plasmid of integrase and TG1int integrase (the co-expression plasmid is the auxiliary plasmid II), the expression of Integrase and TG1int integrase, at this time, the donor plasmid Site and recipient strain Integration or donor plasmid Site and recipient strain Integration transfers all of the donor plasmid into the genome of the recipient strain, and then excises the backbone vector portion carried in the donor plasmid under the action of the TG1int integrase. To integrate more exogenous DNA fragments, the donor plasmids containing different or identical exogenous DNAs and the helper plasmids (helper plasmid I or helper plasmid II) are repeatedly transformed to form multi-fragment DNA insertions in the recipient bacteria. If it is necessary to integrate the exogenous DNA fragments inserted multiple times into a larger exogenous DNA without redundant sequences, only the recipient bacteria finally obtained need to be subjected to Red / ET homologous recombination technology and counter-selection to remove the non-target DNA introduced exogenously on the host cell genome.

[0064] In the present invention, the host cell and the recipient bacterium refer to the same thing, and both are bacterial cells that accept the insertion of exogenous DNA fragments into their genomes.

It can be red fluorescent protein RFP, green fluorescent protein GFP, cherry red fluorescent protein mCherry, etc. The amino acid sequences of fluorescent proteins have been disclosed in the prior art, and codon optimization can be carried out according to the amino acid sequences and different host cells. The selection marker 2 in the present invention is a nutritional auxotrophic selection marker gene, and its purpose is to screen the donor plasmid; the donor plasmid is recombined in yeast, and when the yeast is tryptophan auxotrophic, the selection marker 2 is TRP.

The resistance gene only needs to be able to be expressed in bacteria, such as ampicillin resistance gene, kanamycin resistance gene, chloramphenicol resistance gene, gentamicin resistance gene, tetracycline resistance gene; for the convenience of screening, the selection marker 3 is different during odd-round insertion and even-round insertion; these resistance genes are all well-known in the art. The reverse selection marker 4 in the present invention is rpsL, sacB or pheS, etc. The purpose is to kill the strains carrying this gene when corresponding compounds such as streptomycin, sucrose or p-chlorophenylalanine are added to the culture medium, so as to achieve the purpose of reverse selection. The above selection markers are all well-known in the art.

For example, in the present invention, the term " integrase expression cassette" refers to a polynucleotide sequence containing a sequence encoding integrase and a sequence component of elements required for expression. The components required for expression include a promoter and a polyadenylation signal sequence. In addition, the integrase expression cassette may or may not contain other sequences, including (but not limited to): enhancer, secretion signal peptide sequence, etc.

[0078] This embodiment provides a method for assembling small DNA fragments into large DNA fragments. The starting DNA fragments can be PCR products, synthetic DNA, or DNA fragments from any other source. The steps of assembling PCR products into medium-length DNA of about 30 kb and then into large DNA fragments of about 160 kb are described here. Taking the assembly of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 genomic DNA as an example, contig1 includes the following genes (locus_tag: CYL77_RS00005 to CYL77_RS00795), contig2 includes the following genes (locus_tag: CYL77_RS00795 to CYL77_RS01625), and contig3 includes the following genes (locus_tag: CYL77_RS01625 to CYL77_RS02360). Using primer pairs seg1-frag1-F / seg1-frag1-R, seg1-frag2-F / seg1-frag2-R, seg1-frag3-F / seg1-frag3-R, seg1-frag4 / seg1-frag4-R, seg1-frag5-F / seg1-frag5-R, seg1-frag6-F / seg1-frag6-R, DNA fragments of about 5.5 kb in length of segment1 were amplified from Corynebacterium glutamicum genomic DNA respectively. The p15A-kmR linear vector was amplified using the primer pair Hseg1-p15A-F and Hseg1-km-R. Pac I or Pme I restriction enzyme sites were respectively introduced on both sides of the vector to facilitate subsequent digestion and release of DNA. Six DNA fragments were assembled onto the p15A-kmR vector by the ExoCET method (Nucleic Acids Research, 2018, 46(5): e28) to obtain p15A-kmR-segment1. Similarly, using primer pairs seg2-frag1-F / seg2-frag1-R, seg2-frag2-F / seg2-frag2-R, seg2-frag3-F / seg2-frag3-R, seg2-frag4 / seg2-frag4-R, seg2-frag5-F / seg2-frag5-R, seg2-frag6-F / seg2-frag6-R, DNA fragments of about 5.5 kb in length of segment2 were amplified from Corynebacterium glutamicum genomic DNA respectively. The p15A-kmR linear vector was amplified using the primer pair Hseg2-p15A-F and Hseg2-km-R. Six DNA fragments were assembled onto the p15A-kmR vector by the ExoCET method to obtain p15A-kmR-segment2.In the same way, DNA fragments with a length of about 5.5 kb can be amplified using primers of the corresponding segment (primers starting with seg x amplify segment x, x = 1, 2, 3, 4... n). The p15A-kmR linear vector can be amplified using primers with homologous arms of the corresponding segment. According to requirements, more DNA fragments of about 33 kb can be assembled. In this example, segment 3 - segment 15 are successively assembled onto the p15A-kmR vector to obtain p15A-kmR-segment3, p15A-kmR-segment4,... p15A-kmR-segment15. The constructed plasmid is digested with Pac I or Pme I to release a DNA fragment with a size of about 33 kb.

[0079] In the tryptophan auxotrophic Saccharomyces cerevisiae VL6-48, the above-mentioned DNA fragments of each 5 - 33 kb are assembled into large DNA fragments of about 160 kb and cloned into the cascade integration vector ( Figure 1 -B). Using the odd-fragment integration vector pBOY as a template, two vector fragments contig1-receiver1 and contig1-receiver2 are amplified using the primer pairs seg5H-BAC-F / BAC-trp-R and Amp-YAC-F / seg1H-BAC-R. They are introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae VL6-48 together with the enzymatically digested and recovered segment1 - segment5, and the 5 DNA fragments of about 33 kb are assembled into large DNA fragments of about 160 kb to obtain the cascade assembly plasmid pBOY-contig-1 with a size of about 170 kb.

[0080] Using the even-fragment integration vector pBEY as a template, the vector fragments contig2-receiver1 and contig2-receiver2 are amplified using the primer pairs seg10H-BAC-F / cm-BAC-R and cm-YAC-F / seg6H-BAC-R. They are introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae VL6-48 together with the enzymatically digested and recovered segment6 - segment10 for assembly to obtain the cascade assembly plasmid pBEY-contig-2.

[0081] Using the odd-fragment integration vector pBOY as a template, two vector fragments contig3-receiver1 and contig3-receiver2 are amplified using seg15H-BAC-F / BAC-trp-R and Amp-YAC-F / seg11H-BAC-R. They are introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae VL6-48 together with the enzymatically digested and recovered segment11 - segment15 for assembly to obtain the cascade assembly plasmid pBOY-contig-3.

[0082] According to this method, more DNA fragments of ~33 kb can be assembled into large DNA fragments of ~160 kb according to requirements and cloned onto a cascade integration vector to construct more cascade assembly plasmids pBOY - contig - N (N is odd) and pBEY - contig - M (M is even).

[0083] Example 3: Cascade assembly of large DNA fragments

[0084] This example provides a method for the cascade assembly of large DNA fragments, demonstrating a method for assembling ~160 kb large DNA fragments in three cascade assembly plasmids into ultra - long chromosomal DNA fragments. However, it is not limited to three large DNA fragments, and more large DNA fragments can be assembled into longer chromosomal fragments or even the entire chromosome ( Figure 1 -C). Using this method, ~160 kb large DNA fragments can be successively assembled onto plasmids capable of carrying ultra - long DNA or bacterial chromosomes. In this example, we demonstrate the cascade assembly of the above - mentioned ~160 kb large DNA fragments into ~485 kb ultra - long DNA fragments on the Escherichia coli chromosome.

[0085] This method will integrase and or be simultaneously integrated into the chromosome. After introducing the donor plasmid, the plasmid is first integrated into the chromosome, then the auxiliary plasmid I expressing TG1int integrase is introduced into the bacterium to excise the shuttle plasmid backbone, and then the auxiliary plasmid I is eliminated through antibiotic - free screening, with an efficiency of up to 100%.

[0086] To assemble large DNA fragments on the Escherichia coli chromosome, it is necessary to first introduce the integration site attP. To save subsequent operation time and improve the assembly efficiency, the phage integrase gene controlled by the rhamnose - inducible promoter PRha is simultaneously integrated into the chromosome, and the deoR gene (Gene ID: 945453) is knocked out to improve the efficiency of importing large DNA fragments into Escherichia coli. Using the CcdB counter - selection technology, the rhamnose - inducible integrase gene and Integration site. First, the temperature-sensitive plasmid pSC101-ccdA-gbaA (Nucleic Acids Res. 2014; 42(5): e37) was transferred into Escherichia coli GB2005 to obtain the strain GB2005::pSC101-ccdA-gbaA, in which the Red / ET recombinase system and the ccdA antitoxin gene were induced by rhamnose and arabinose inducible promoters, respectively. The ampR-ccdB fragment was amplified from the plasmid p15A-ccdB-amp using the primer pair Hamp-F / HccdB-R. The upstream and downstream homologous arms of the 60 bp yoeA gene (Gene ID: 4056042) to be inserted were carried at both ends of the fragment. This linear fragment was electrotransformed into GB2005::pSC101-ccdA-gbaA in which the Red recombination system and the CcdA antitoxin protein were induced. Through ampicillin screening, the recombinants with ampR-ccdB integrated into the genome were detected by PCR using the primer pairs chk-amp-F / chk-amp-R and chk-ccdB-F / chk-ccdB-R. The rhamnose operon gene was amplified using the primer pair HPRha-F / Int-PRha-R, and The rhamnose operon gene and the integration site were fused by PCR using the primer pair HPRha-F / HattP-int-R2. The linear fragment was electrotransformed into GB2005::ampR-ccdB + pSC101-ccdA-gbaA in which only the Red / ET recombination system was induced. The plate was cultured in an incubator at 37 °C without antibiotic screening to eliminate ampR-ccdB and the plasmid pSC101-ccdA-gbaA, obtaining the strain GB2005::

[0087] pSC101-ccdA-gbaA was introduced into the strain GB2005:: by electroporation The gentamicin resistance gene gentR was amplified using the primer pair KOdeoR-genta-F / KOdeoR-genta-R. The homologous arms on both sides of the 60 bp deoR gene were carried on both sides of the fragment. This linear fragment was electrotransformed into the strain GB2005:: in which the Red recombination system was induced. The plate was spread with gentamicin resistant plates to obtain the strain GB2005:: in which the deoR gene was knocked out

[0088] Construction of the plasmid pUC57-kmR-PBAD-TG1int of TG1 phage integrase: The plasmid pUC57-kmR-synTG1int was digested and linearized with Nde I and EcoR I. The araC-PBAD and the 5'-end of TG1int were amplified from pSC101-ccdA-gbaA and pUC57-kmR-synTG1int respectively using the primer pairs HPBAD-F / TG1-PBAD-R and PBAD-TG1-F / HTG1-R. The two fragments were fused by overlapping PCR. After purifying the PCR product, it was assembled with the linearized vector pUC57-kmR-synTG1int by Gibson assembly to obtain pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int.

[0089] Electroporate pBOY-contig-1 into GB2005:: Add 0.2% rhamnose to induce the expression of integrase, enabling the plasmid to be completely integrated into the locus of GB2005, and spread on an LB plate containing 50 μg / mL ampicillin. The plasmid pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int was introduced into the strain in which pBOY-contig-1 was completely integrated. The expression of TG1int integrase (with its promoter being PBAD) was induced with 0.2% arabinose, and the vector was excised by circularization, and then spread on an LB plate containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin. Colony PCR was used to detect the interfaces on both sides of the integration with the primer pairs AttInt-chk-F / Integration-chk-R and chk-5V-F / AttInt-chk-R, and PCR was used to detect the integrity of the large fragment DNA integration with the primer pairs chk-V1-F / chk-V1-R, chk12-F / chk12-R, chk23-F / chk23-R, chk34-F / chk34-R, chk45-F / chk45-R, chk5V-F / chk5V-R. The primer pair cut-chk-F / Integration-chk-R was used to detect whether the vector was excised by circularization. The detection results showed that the contig was complete and the pBOY vector fragment was excised, which was consistent with the expectation ( Figure 2 ). The clone integrating contig1 lost the plasmid pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int during subculture in antibiotic-free LB, and the strain GB2005::

[0090] Similarly, electroporate pBEY-contig-2 into GB2005:: Add 0.2% rhamnose to induce Integrase expression enables the plasmid to integrate into the site newly introduced in the previous round of integration. Spread the cells on an LB plate containing 20 μg / mL chloramphenicol. Transfer the pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int plasmid into the strain with complete integration of pBEY-contig-2. Induce the expression of TG1 integrase with 0.2% arabinose, excise the vector by circularization, and spread the cells on an LB plate containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin. Use the primer pairs AttInt-chk-F / Integration-chk-R and chk-10V-F / AttInt-chk-R to perform PCR detection on the interfaces on both sides of the integration, and use the primer pairs chk12-F / chk12-R, chk23-F / chk23-R, chk34-F / chk34-R, chk45-F / chk45-R, chk67-F / chk67-R, chk78-F / chk78-R, chk89-F / chk89-R, chk910-F / chk910-R, chk10V-F / chk10V-R to perform PCR detection on the integrity of the large fragment DNA integration. Use the primer pair cut-chk-F / Integration-chk-R to detect whether the vector has been circularly excised. At the same time, use the primer pair chk-5V-F / chk-V6-R to detect the integration at the junction of contig1 and contig2. The detection results show that contig1 and contig2 are complete and the pBEY vector fragment has been excised, which is consistent with the expectation ( Figure 3 ). The successfully integrated clones were passaged in antibiotic-free LB to lose the pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int plasmid, and the strain GB2005::

[0091] Similarly, electrotransform pBOY-contig-3 into GB2005:: Add rhamnose to induce integrase expression, enabling the plasmid to integrate into the site newly introduced in the previous round of integration. Loci, spread on LB plates containing 50 μg / mL ampicillin. Transfer the pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int plasmid into the strain with complete integration of pBOY-contig-3, induce the expression of TG1int integrase with arabinose, excise the vector, and spread on LB plates containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin. Use primer pairs AttInt-chk-F / Integration-chk-R and chk-15V-F / AttInt-chk-R to perform PCR detection on the interfaces on both sides of the integration, and use primer pairs chk12-F / chk12-R, chk23-F / chk23-R, chk34-F / chk34-R, chk45-F / chk45-R, chk5V-F / chk-V6-R, chk67-F / chk67-R, chk78-F / chk78-R, chk89-F / chk89-R, chk910-F / chk910-R, chk1112-F / chk1112-R, chk1213-F / chk1213-R, chk1314-F / chk1314-R, chk1415-F / chk1415-R, chk15V-F / chk15V-R to perform PCR detection on the integrity of the large fragment DNA integration. Use primer pair cut-chk-F / Integration-chk-R to detect whether the vector has been excised, and at the same time use primer pair chk-10V-F / chk-V11-R to detect the integrity of the junction between seg10 and seg11. The detection results show that contig1, contig2, and contig3 are complete and the pBOY vector fragment has been excised, which is consistent with the expectation( Figure 4 ). The successfully integrated clones lost the pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int plasmid during subculture in antibiotic-free LB to obtain the strain GB2005::

[0092] Through the above three-step continuous integration, a ~485 kb ultra-long chromosomal DNA fragment was assembled and integrated onto the genome of Escherichia coli GB2005, and the assembly efficiency was close to 100%. One disadvantage of this method is that each round of integration will leave a redundant This redundant sequence can be removed using the Red / ET multiple homologous recombination technology and the counter-selection technology (Nucleic Acids Research, 2020, 48(22): e130).

[0093] Example 4: Cascade assembly of large fragment DNA

[0094] This example also provides a second assembly method, that is, The recognition site of the integrase or integrated into the chromosome of the recipient bacterium, and the integrase and TG1int integrase were simultaneously constructed on a plasmid for co-expression. After introducing the donor plasmid, the plasmid was first integrated and then the plasmid backbone was excised ( Figure 1 -D). This method does not require the elimination of the helper plasmid. The donor plasmid for the next round of integration can be directly introduced to achieve cascade assembly, which can save time, but the overall efficiency is only about 30%.

[0095] An integration site was first introduced into the Escherichia coli chromosome and the deoR gene (Gene ID: 945453) was knocked out to improve the efficiency of large fragment DNA introduction into Escherichia coli. The CcdB counter-selection technology was used to insert an integration site into the Escherichia coli GB2005 genome. First, the temperature-sensitive plasmid pSC101-ccdA-gbaA was transferred into Escherichia coli GB2005 to obtain the strain GB2005::pSC101-ccdA-gbaA, in which the Red / ET recombinase system and the ccdA antitoxin gene were induced to express by rhamnose and arabinose inducible promoters respectively. The ampR-ccdB fragment was amplified from the plasmid p15A-ccdB-amp using the primer pair Hamp-F / HccdB-R. Each end of the fragment carried 60 bp upstream and downstream homologous arms of the yoeA gene (Gene ID: 4056042) at the insertion site. This linear fragment was electrotransformed into GB2005::pSC101-ccdA-gbaA in which the Red recombination system and the CcdA antitoxin protein were induced to express. Through ampicillin screening, the recombinants with ampR-ccdB integrated into the genome were detected by PCR using the primer pairs chk-amp-F / chk-amp-R and chk-ccdB-F / chk-ccdB-R. The linear fragment with homologous arms was amplified using the primer pair HattP-F / HattP-R and electrotransformed into GB2005::ampR-ccdB + pSC101-ccdA-gbaA- in which only the Red / ET recombination system was induced. No antibiotics were added to the plate and it was cultured in an incubator at 37 °C to eliminate ampR-ccdB and the plasmid pSC101-ccdA-gbaA, obtaining the strain GB2005:: The gentamicin resistance gene gentR was amplified using the primer pair KOdeoR-genta-F / KOdeoR-genta-R. 60 bp homologous arms on both sides of the deoR gene were respectively carried on both sides of the fragment. This linear fragment was electrotransformed into the strain GB2005:: Among them, a gentamicin-resistant plate was coated to obtain the strain GB2005:: in which the deoR gene was knocked out.

[0096] Construction of the co-expression plasmid of integrase and TG1int integrase: The p15A-kmR linear vector was amplified with the primer pair TG1-p15A-F / BAD-km-R, araC-PBAD was amplified with the primer pair km-BAD-F / int-BAD-R, and was amplified with the primer pair BAD-int-F / HTG1-phiC31int-R. TG1int was amplified from the plasmid pUC57-kmR-PBAD-synTG1int with the primer pair HphiC31-TG1int-F / p15A-TG1-R. The PCR products were recovered and assembled using the ExoCET method to obtain which is the auxiliary plasmid II. The auxiliary plasmid II was introduced into the strain GB2005:: Among them, an LB plate containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin was coated to obtain the strain GB2005::

[0097] pBOY-contig-1 was electrotransformed into GB2005:: Among them, an LB plate containing 0.2% arabinose, 50 μg / mL ampicillin, and 50 μg / mL kanamycin was coated. Arabinose in the plate would induce the sequential expression of integrase and TG1int integrase, integrate the plasmid pBOY-contig-1 into the genome of the donor bacterium, and then excise the shuttle plasmid backbone to obtain the strain GB2005:: Similarly, pBEY-contig-2 was electrotransformed into GB2005:: Among them, an LB plate containing 0.2% arabinose, 50 μg / mL ampicillin, and 50 μg / mL kanamycin was coated to obtain the strain GB2005:: The interfaces on both sides of the integration were detected by PCR using the primer pairs AttInt-chk-F / Integration-chk-R and chk-10V-F / AttInt-chk-R. The integrity of the large fragment DNA integration was detected by PCR using the primer pairs chk12-F / chk12-R, chk23-F / chk23-R, chk34-F / chk34-R, chk45-F / chk45-R, chk5V-F / chk-V6-R, chk67-F / chk67-R, chk78-F / chk78-R, chk89-F / chk89-R, chk910-F / chk910-R. Whether the vector was circularly excised was detected by the primer pair cut-chk-F / Integration-chk-R. The detection results showed that contig1 and contig2 were complete and the vector backbone was excised, which was consistent with the expectation. Figure 5 ) Each round of integration leaves a redundant segment on the genome. This redundant sequence can be removed using the Red / ET multiple homologous recombination technology and the counter-selection technology (Nucleic Acids Research, 2020, 48(22): e130). However, if the TG1int integrase first circularly excises the vector backbone, the large fragment DNA will not be able to integrate into the genome. Therefore, although the operation process of this method is more convenient than the first assembly method, the efficiency of the simultaneous circular excision of the large fragment DNA integration and the vector is only about 30%. Therefore, only two rounds of integration were attempted in this example.
