Genome engineering refers to the strategies and techniques developed in recent years for the targeted, specific modification of the genetic information – or genome – of living organisms. It represents a very active field of research because of the wide range of possible applications, particularly in the areas of human health - the correction of a gene carrying a harmful mutation, the production of therapeutic proteins, the elimination of persistent viral sequences - agricultural biotechnology - the development of new generations of genetically modified plants - and for the development of research tools - for example, to explore the function of a gene. Early technologies developed to insert a gene into a living cell, such as transgenesis, are limited by the random nature of the insertion of the new sequence into the genome. The new gene is positioned blindly, and may inactivate or disturb the functioning of other genes or even cause severe unwanted effects; it may trigger a process of cancerization, for example. Furthermore, these technologies offer no degree of reproducibility, as there is no guarantee that the new sequence will be inserted at the same place in two different cells.

Systems and methods for increased production of recombinant biopolymers via genome engineering and downregulation of basal expression
Recombinant E. coli strains and synthetic protein sequence designs are leveraged for production of disordered polypeptides such as spidroins and elastin-like peptides (ELPs). These disordered polypeptides, the high-titer production of which has proven difficult, include repeating structural motifs from a small selection of amino acid residues, resulting in lack of well-defined tertiary and quaternary structure. The recombinant E. coli include expression vectors with genes encoding for the disordered polypeptide product. Expression of these genes is controlled by a promoter that downregulates and substantially inhibits basal expression in the recombinant bacteria. Further, the recombinant bacteria include mutations to one or more stress-response genes from wild-type E. coli, such as yggw, yedv, yedw, yedy, spec, speb, uspc, hcha, loip, mltc, envz, ompr, yhgf, or hupb. The recombinant E. coli enable production of high titers of disordered protein product while minimizing the toxic effects thereof on the host.

Streptococcus Canis Cas9 as a Genome Engineering Platform with Novel PAM Specificity
A Streptococcus canis Cas9 (ScCas9) ortholog and its engineered variants, possessing novel PAM specificity, is an addition to the family of CRISPR-Cas9 systems. ScCas9 endonuclease is used in complex with guide RNA, consisting of identical non-target-specific sequence to that of the guide RNA SpCas9, for specific recognition and activity on a DNA target immediately upstream of either an “NNGT” or “NNNGT” PAM sequence. A novel DNA-interacting loop domain within ScCas9, and other Cas9 orthologs, such as those from Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus angionosis facilitates a divergent PAM sequence from the “NGG” PAM of SpCas9.

Engineering native e. coli for tumor imaging under hypoxia conditions
PCT designated stageWO2025217633A1BacteriaBacteria material medical ingredientsGastrointestinal cancerBacterial composition
Escherichia coli is a widely studied model organism and an integral component of the human gut microbiome, offering significant potential for bacteria-based therapeutic applications. However, engineering native E. coli strains poses persistent challenges. In this study, the chassis- independent recombinase-assisted genome engineering technique was leveraged to engineer the native gut strain E. coli EcAZ-1 and the probiotic strain E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). The bioluminescent lux operon, green fluorescent protein (GFP), and the oxygen-independent fluorescent protein IFP 2.0 were successfully introduced into both strains. To further enhance IFP 2.0 fluorescence, a heme oxygenase was co-expressed, and the chromophore biliverdin was supplemented, achieving robust IFP 2.0 expression under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. Also, both strains were engineered to biosynthesize bioactive compounds, including the plant- derived flavonoid naringenin and mycosporine-like amino acids. The results underscore the potential of native E. coli strains as flexible and robust platforms for synthetic biology, enabling novel applications in biomedical research and therapeutics. Based on these results, this application provides recombinant bacteria generating IFP2.0 fluorescence under anaerobic condition, bacterial composition for gastrointestinal cancer detection and use method thereof, and naringenin or MAA overproducing recombinant bacteria.
