Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and more specifically to a modular genome modification system, modification method and application of Yersinia lipophila. Background Technology
[0002] As an unconventional yeast, Yersinia lipolytica has become one of the core chassis cells in the field of synthetic biology for the "carbon source-lipid / high value-added product" transformation due to its natural and efficient lipid accumulation ability (lipid content can reach 30%-70% of cell dry weight), broad-spectrum substrate utilization (it can utilize inexpensive carbon sources such as glycerol, lipids, alkanes and lignocellulose hydrolysates), strong heterologous protein secretion ability, and relatively mature genetic manipulation basis.
[0003] The Yersinia lipolyticis genome contains several identified sites suitable for homologous integration (such as KU70 / KU80, 26S rDNA, zeta, and multiple intergenic regions like YL_Js_P3 and YL_Js_P6). The sequence characteristics of these sites (e.g., GC content, flanking sequence conservation) directly affect homologous recombination efficiency. Currently, the construction of homologous repair fragments (key DNA fragments for gene knock-in / knockout) targeting these sites mainly relies on two types of technologies: In vitro synthetic assembly methods (such as Gibson assembly / GoldenGate assembly): 300-500 bp genomic homologous arms are commercially synthesized and then spliced with a linearized vector using an enzyme ligation reaction. This method can achieve 100% assembly accuracy and is suitable for scenarios requiring strict sequence accuracy, but it is costly and time-consuming.
[0004] PCR-mediated fragment assembly (overlap extension PCR / fusion PCR): By designing primers with overlapping regions, homologous arms are directly spliced to the target fragment after multiple rounds of PCR amplification. This method can complete the construction of fragments <5kb in length within 24 hours, is low-cost, and is suitable for the rapid assembly of non-standardized elements, but has a high amplification error rate.
[0005] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have the following key shortcomings that prevent them from meeting the needs of industrial transformation: Poor site adaptability: For different homologous integration sites, homologous arm sequences or PCR primers need to be redesigned. The lack of a unified adaptation system leads to low cross-site element reuse rate (<10%), and high cost and low efficiency of multi-site modification.
[0006] Site specificity issues: For special structural sites (such as the repetitive sequence of 26S rDNA, the high GC region of YL_Js_P5), the error rate of PCR-mediated amplification is >20%; although the in vitro synthesis method is precise, it requires additional optimization of homologous arm design (such as segmented synthesis), which extends the cycle by 1-2 weeks.
[0007] Iterative upgrades are difficult: when replacing a single element (such as a promoter), it is necessary to resynthesize homologous arms or design primers for the target site, making it impossible to achieve local modular modification, and extending the iteration cycle of multi-site modification by more than 50%.
[0008] Cost and cycle imbalance: When using in vitro synthesis methods to modify multiple sites, the cost of homologous arm synthesis increases exponentially; while PCR methods are low-cost, specific sites require multiple attempts, resulting in high hidden costs. Neither method can simultaneously meet the requirements of "multiple sites, high efficiency, and low cost".
[0009] There are no optimization methods for transformation efficiency: Both methods rely on the homologous recombination efficiency of yeast itself. For low-efficiency sites (such as YL_Js_P3, where the natural recombination efficiency is <5%), no targeted guidance strategy is provided, resulting in a high transformation failure rate, especially in the scenario of simultaneous transformation of multiple sites (failure rate >70%).
[0010] Therefore, how to develop a genome modification system for Yersinia lipophila that is "multi-site adapted, site-specific compatible, easy to iterate, low-cost and capable of optimizing transformation efficiency" to support its large-scale application in industrial scenarios such as multi-pathway synergistic optimization and multi-product co-synthesis is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0011] In view of this, the present invention develops a modular genome modification system, modification method and application for Yersinia lipophila, which solves the problems of poor site adaptability, insufficient compatibility of special sites, difficulty in iteration, imbalance of cost and cycle and low transformation efficiency in the existing technology.
[0012] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution: The primary objective of this application is to provide a modular genome modification system for Yersinia lipophila, the system comprising three levels of modular elements: L0 level elements, L1 level elements, and L2 level elements; the elements are assembled stepwise via standardized restriction enzyme site interfaces; The L0-level element is a homologous recombinant vector composed of a vector backbone and endogenous elements of *Yersinia lipophila*. The vector backbone contains BbsI and BsaI restriction endonuclease recognition sites. The endogenous elements of *Yersinia lipophila* are selected from promoters, target gene coding regions, or terminators. Each endogenous element of *Yersinia lipophila* has a pre-defined BbsI recognition sequence at its end. Furthermore, all BbsI, BsaI, and SapI recognition sites within each endogenous element of *Yersinia lipophila* have been removed by synonymous mutations. The L1 level components include functional module carriers and screening module carriers; The functional module vector is a homologous recombination vector composed of a vector backbone and L0-level elements; the vector backbone contains BsaI and SapI restriction endonuclease recognition sites. The screening module vector is a homologous recombination vector composed of a vector backbone and a screening marker; the vector backbone contains BsaI and SapI restriction endonuclease recognition sites; the screening marker is pre-programmed with a BsaI recognition sequence. The L2-level element is a homologous recombination vector consisting of a vector backbone and homologous arms, or a homologous recombination vector consisting of a vector backbone, homologous arms, and at least one L1-level element; the homologous arms are 300-500 bp DNA sequences designed for specific integration sites in the Yersinia lipolyticis genome; the vector backbone of the L2-level element contains multiple SapI restriction endonuclease recognition sites between the homologous arms for receiving the assembly of L1-level modules.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the vector backbone of the L0-level element is the pUAP1 plasmid; the promoter is selected from ylTEF, ylGAPHD, ylPGK, ylLEU2 or ylURA3; the coding region of the target gene is codon-optimized; and the terminator is CYC1.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the vector backbone of the L1-level element is a pCK1, pCK2, pCK3, or pCK4 plasmid; wherein pCK1, pCK2, and pCK3 are used to assemble the functional module vector, and pCK4 is used to assemble the screening module vector; the screening marker is the HisG-URA3-HisG gene fragment; the vector backbone of the L2-level element is a pUC57 plasmid; and the homologous arm is a homologous arm sequence targeting the Yersinia lipolytica genome.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the specific integration site of the Yersinia lipolytica genome is selected from KU80, YL_Js_P3, YL_Js_P6, YL_Js_P5, YL_Js_P1, YL_Js_P4, YL_Js_P2, zeta, or 26S rDNA sites.
[0016] Another objective of this application is to provide the application of the above-described system in the genome modification of Yersinia lipophila.
[0017] Another object of this application is to provide a method for genome modification of Yersinia lipophila using the above-described system, comprising the following steps: S1. Construction of L0-level elements: The selected endogenous elements of Yersinia lipolytica were cloned into the modified pUAP1 vector, and the key restriction sites inside the endogenous elements of Yersinia lipolytica were domesticated to obtain standardized L0-level element plasmids. S2. Constructing L1-level elements: Using the GoldenGate assembly reaction, the selected L0-level elements containing promoters, L0-level elements containing the coding region of the target gene, and L0-level elements containing terminators are assembled into pCK1, pCK2, or pCK3 vectors to form functional module vectors; or the selection markers are assembled into the pCK4 vector to form selection module vectors. S3. Constructing L2-level components: Using the GoldenGate assembly reaction, the selected L1-level functional modules and screening modules are assembled into the pUC57 vector with specific homologous arms in a predetermined order to form a complete homologous repair vector. S4. Preparation of homologous repair fragment: Using the L2-level vector obtained in S3 as a template, linearized homologous repair fragments were obtained by PCR amplification. These fragments contain homologous arms and all modules that need to be integrated. S5.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution, the optional co-transformation plasmid in step S5 is the pYaliA1-hCas9 plasmid, which carries sgRNA designed for the target integration site.
[0022] Another object of this application is to provide: the engineered Yersinia lipophila strain constructed by the above method.
[0023] Another objective of this application is to provide the application of the engineered Yersinia lipolyticis strain constructed by the above method in the production of oils or high-value-added heterologous products.
[0024] Another object of this application is to provide a recombinant plasmid, said recombinant plasmid being pCK4-HisG-URA3-HisG.
[0025] Another object of this application is to provide: the application of the above-mentioned recombinant plasmid, wherein the application is in any of the following directions: (1) Application in constructing a modular genome modification system for Yersinia lipophila; (2) Application in genome modification of Yersinia lipophila; (3) Application in gene knock-in of Yersinia lipophila.
[0026] Another object of this application is to provide a recombinant plasmid, said recombinant plasmid being pUC57-KU80, pUC57-YL_Js_P3, pUC57-YL_Js_P6, pUC57-YL_Js_P5, pUC57-YL_Js_P1, pUC57-YL_Js_P4, or pUC57-YL_Js_P2.

[0028] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Extremely high site adaptability and component reuse rate: By separating the homologous arm and functional module, the component reuse rate is close to 100%. Cross-site modification does not require redesigning components, which completely solves the problem of repeated design and synthesis in multi-site modification. It adapts to 9 typical sites and other potential sites, significantly reducing costs and cycle time.
[0029] (2) Excellent site-specific compatibility: The “domestication” step of L0-level elements removes internal restriction sites, ensuring that even special sites (such as the 26S rDNA high GC region and zeta repeat sequence region) can be assembled efficiently and accurately.
[0030] (3) Seamless iteration and rapid upgrade: hierarchical module splitting + independent design of site homology arms. If metabolic pathways need to be optimized, only a single L0 level component needs to be replaced (such as replacing a weak promoter with a strong promoter), and then standardized L1 and L2 level assembly can be performed again. There is no need to change the homology arms or other modules. The site iteration cycle is shortened to 1-2 days, realizing true "plug and play" and rapid iteration, and shortening the iteration cycle.
[0031] (4) Efficient balance between cost and cycle: The strategy of “synthesizing a small number of standardized elements + efficient enzymatic assembly” avoids the huge cost of synthesizing long fragments for each site. Once the L0 and L2 libraries are built, the newly constructed assembly can be completed in 3-5 days. The cost is mainly concentrated in enzyme preparations, which is far lower than that of commercial synthesis.
[0032] (5) Standardization and scalability: The entire system is built on the GoldenGate assembly standard, with unified interfaces and fixed operating procedures, making it easy to promote and apply in the laboratory. Application scenarios of the system in this application: Gene knockout: When there is no functional / screening module inside the L2 level element, PCR amplification only contains fragments with homologous arms, and after transformation into yeast, the target gene is knocked out; Gene knock-in: The PCR product of the L2 level element containing the target functional module is transformed into yeast to achieve precise knock-in of single genes / multiple genes (≤3), with strong application flexibility.

[0042] Example 1 A modular genome editing system for Yersinia lipophila, the construction process of which is as follows: S1. Construction of L0 level elements: (pUAP1 empty vector + lipolysinus endogenous elements) (1) Vector backbone: pUAP1 (source: https: / / doi.org / 10.1111 / nph.13532, which describes the properties and construction method of the plasmid) was used as the empty vector. This empty vector has a BbsⅠ recognition site (GAAGAC) added to the red fluorescent protein fragment.
